MEAL PROGRAM
SALINAS VALLEY — United Way Monterey County is partnering with Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley to help expand their food delivery programs to residents who have currently tested positive for Covid-19 and are in their isolation period. This initiative provides one meal per day, Monday through Friday, for 10 days to Covid-positive residents to help them remain in their home and address food-related needs during that time. To be considered for this benefit, contact Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley (Brenda Rivas, program administrator, br*****@mo********.org, 831-758-6325). Participating cities include Salinas, Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield and King City.
