Senior Wish Initiative
Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island’s Senior Wish Initiative provides clients with gift packages of seasonal essentials, everyday necessities, and other items during the winter holidays.
Through the support of corporate partners and local businesses, “wish gifts” are collected and delivered to clients. In 2023, more than 250 Meals on Wheels of RI clients received gift packages.
