Carlucci chats with Merton, who received the 8,000th meal

NANUET – Meals on Wheels of Rockland marked a special occasion on Wednesday as it delivered its 8,000th warm meal to a 102-year-old senior. Senator David Carlucci, who secured the funding, participated in the special delivery to Marian Merton of Nanuet.
“Getting this funding for Meals on Wheels is critical to helping our region combat hunger,” Carlucci said. “Meals on Wheels shares my believe that those in need deserve assistance.”
This year 58 older adults were able to receive meals through the program through a $50,000 member item grant from Carlucci.
Meals are prepared and packaged at the agency’s central commissary and since its inception, Meals on Wheels has delivered over nine million meals in Rockland.
