For over 32 years, Wyckoff Meals on Wheels has been delivering food to town- ship residents in need. Run by a corps of about 40 volunteers, this service is avail- able to all residents regardless of age or income. The mission of Meals on Wheels is to fulfill a need for balanced nutrition for people who may be unable to prepare meals for themselves. Chamber plans last meeting for 2013 The Wyckoff Chamber of Commerce will hold its final meeting of the year on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Wyckoff Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization. The group does not receive any national or local government funding. Over the years, Wyckoff Meals on Wheels has received generous gifts from the community, sometimes in memory of former clients. These donations have allowed this group of dedicated volunteers to continue its service. Recently, the group was running low on funds, and had to consider the possibility of doing away with add-on services, such as the well-received Birthday Baskets. These baskets filled with muffins and other good- ies from the Market Basket are delivered to clients who are celebrating their birthdays. Wyckoff Meals on Wheels also provides deliveries of food staples that help tide people over during weather related emer- gencies. Items include juice, soups, and other shelf-stable foods that can easily be pulled out of the pantry for a quick, nutri- tious meal. This group of volunteers never rests. Weekday meal deliveries continue year- round – even on holidays. Christmas Day 2013 and New Year’s Day 2014 both fall on Wednesdays, and Wyckoff Meals on Wheels volunteers will be delivering both days to ensure that their clients have every- thing they need to enjoy well-balanced meals on those holidays.
