Meals on Wheels Orange County’s ‘Step Up to the Plate’ Documentary Tells Story of Serving the County’s Most Vulnerable

As the county’s largest provider of senior nutrition and supportive services, Meals on Wheels Orange County’s serving levels have increased by almost 400% during the pandemic with no end in sight. In response to this major undertaking, the nonprofit produced Step Up to the Plate: Our Community in Action, a documentary to share its story supporting thousands of vulnerable older adults disproportionately affected by the virus.

As outlined in the brief documentary, Meals on Wheels Orange County is currently serving 125,000 Grab & Go meals per month through partnering senior centers; roughly the same number of meals in four weeks that they would normally serve in six months.
