Client creates new way to receive meals amidst social distance rules

Bethlehem, PA 8/18/2020 – A Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley client invented a new and creative way to deliver his meals while maintaining a safe distance under the COVID-19 pandemic.

The client — who lives on the third floor of an apartment building in Lehigh County — decided to tie a bucket to a rope and drop it over his balcony. The volunteers can simply place his meal inside the bucket and the client pulls it up.

The volunteer is able to check that the client is safe and doing well while maintaining a safe distance.
