TOLEDO, Ohio — Freezing rain overnight into Tuesday morning will cause a risk of icy roads, so Mobile Meals of Toledo is working double time to fulfill its commitment to serving people who need assistance with diet and meal preparation regardless of age and income.

"We often see ourselves as first responders and support people during inclement weather and natural disasters," said Alison Foreman, CEO of Mobile Meals of Toledo. "We have a disaster preparedness plan; we are prepared."
Delivery scheduled for Tuesday has been canceled due to the conditions, so Mobile Meals of Toledo employees have been working double time to fill orders and support the more than 300 clients they serve.
The volunteers and drivers provide a sense of comfort and support for clients. According to Meals on Wheels, some clients are homebound and have trouble getting around their homes.
"We are well prepared because we know the contact details of all our clients. We know where they live because we go there every day to deliver meals," Foreman said. "We have their family contact details, so we're prepared pretty well for knowing what they may need for an emergency."
Mobile Meals of Toledo will resume delivery on Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
