This week, Bernhard Law Firm was delivering food to the South Florida community’s high-risk, disabled, and elderly community through Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels specializes in addressing the unique needs of America’s most vulnerable and high-risk senior and disabled populations.
Meals on Wheels South Florida is funded through the State of Florida’s Department of Elder Affairs and the Aging and Disability Resource Center in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with funds made available by the Federal Older American’s Act, Fair Share dollars and Private Donations. Meals on Wheels has a mission of ending hunger across all ages with kindness, dignity and compassion.
