Meals On Wheels Case Study
I am currently fulfilling my passion as social work intern at Interfaith Ministries – Meals on Wheels (MOW) which is located on 3303 Main St. Houston TX. 77002. MOW has been around for many years assisting homebound older adults usually over the age of sixty with nutritional meals. MOW provides more than 4,300 meals in the Houston area.

    Personal Narrative: The Forty-Two-Room House

    Having the luxury of great health and family, it can be difficult for me to see outside the realm of comfortability and see the daily hardships people experience. There are so many people without housing, stability, and monetary resources, and these people often find themselves wondering where they can find help and figure out what to do next during trying times. One place people can reach out for assistance is Ronald McDonald House Charities. The nonprofit provides housing and food for families with a critically ill child in the hospital. The forty-two room house aims to provide comfort and support for families living through their worst nightmare.

    Meals On Wheels Analysis

    Do you have an elderly senior citizen in your family? Are they capable of cooking? They probably are not. Meals on Wheels are a community service program used to deliver meals to elderly people in their homes. The Meals on Wheels Program began delivering meals to homebound elderly residents since 1989, and since that time, over 1,500,000 meals have been delivered. (“MEALS”). This program for the elderly not only delivers food, but friendship to those whose age and health has declined (“MEALS”). In 2007, Meals on Wheels was awarded with the Congressional Hunger Award for eliminating the most hunger for the frail senior citizens (“MEALS”). Meals on Wheels have some positive and negative qualities. Some good qualities include helping the elderly;…

    Harlem Internship

    I intern at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, that provides comprehensive health care and support services to youth from 10 to 24 years old. At the beginning of the internship, I was assigned to serve the Harlem community which has high proportions of Black and Hispanic residents who have low socioeconomic status. Many of the Harlem residents live below the Federal Poverty Level and spend more than 30% of their monthly gross income on rent. Harlem has higher unemployment rates than New York City in general. In addition, Harlem has a high percentage of people without a high school diploma. As a result, many of the Harlem residents have no credential to get high-paying jobs. The primary languages spoken at home are Spanish, French and Chinese. The majority of the Harlem residents has low English proficiency.…

    Violence In A Homeless Family

    The problem of homelessness in America is escalating day by day. Homelessness doesn’t discriminate between races or skin color, although some may be a bit more prevalent. Homeless people range from former veterans, to immigrants, to families struggling to find a solid paying job and a stable lifestyle. Also, although most people relate a homeless person to an underdressed, rugged man, the homeless population now leans towards families. There are more and more homeless families on the streets every day. Homeless families can be an effect of discrimination because of race, a result of violence in a family, or an effect of a physical disability or mental illness.…

    Reflection On Meals On Wheels

    I changed my service project to something that I did recently in girl scouts that I loved. For this project, my Girl Scout troop and I spent four meetings, a total of six hours, making ornaments for Alachua County Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels is an organization that provides meals for the elderly or people that are unable to access meals. In total we made 150 Christmas ornaments. The ornaments were given with meals during the month of December. The reason why I enjoyed this project was because I knew receiving a handmade ornament would give people who may be going through hard times, joy. For this project I was responsible for creating “pom-pom ornaments.” For this ornament, I took a Styrofoam ball and glued little pom-poms all around…
