SECC’s Meals on Wheels program is now farm-to-table By Abby Neufeld-Dick REGIONAL – For almost 5 years, Green Heart Kitchen has been providing the meals for SECC’s Meals on Wheels clients. According to Dennis Rogers, owner/operator of Green Heart Kitchen, they have always focused on including locally sourced, high-quality ingredients in their meals. Nurturing strong relationships with the farmers that grow their produce has been important to them. In mid-April, Green Heart announced they were starting Green Heart Farms. This will allow the company to grow an
abundance of produce to create delicious meals to serve to all of their customers, including SECC’s Meals on Wheels clients. “Anything we’re going to use is never going to be on 18 wheels,” said Rogers enthusiastically. “It’s going to come from our farm to our door, we’re going to wash it, clean it, prep it, cook it, and then it will be right in front of our community. Having the meals farmto-table ensures the freshest ingredients, which in turn will provide a better experience for customers. Meals on Wheels provides hot, nutritionally
balanced meals, available Monday through Friday. Each meal consists of an appetizer (soup or juice), entrée and dessert. Most food allergies and sensitivities can be accommodated and texture modifications can be made upon request. Friendly volunteers deliver the meals, providing a social contact and a check-in for those who live alone. Frozen meals are also available for bulk order and delivery.
