OUR PROGRAMS
MEALS ON WHEELS
Good nutrition is important to everyone and home-bound seniors are especially at risk. FTHRA's Nutrition Program is partnered with Meals on Wheels to help seniors not go hungry. We provide nutritious meals that meet USDA guidelines for seniors. Wonderful volunteers in all our communities deliver the meals to each person.
Meals on Wheels is available in Carter, Greene, Johnson, Hancock, Hawkins, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington Counties. Volunteers are always needed in each of these counties. Volunteers are essential to the program because not only do they deliver a meal to the recipients, often they are the only people the recipients see each day.
FTHRA also provides nutritious meals in a community meal setting. The Johnson County Senior Center serves lunch at 11am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, (closed on Wednesdays). As of August 2021 meals are served inside again, and you may dine-in or take your meal to-go. Anyone over the age of 60 is welcome to enjoy a lunch time meal. Registration with the meal site coordinator is all that is required, Trish Eastridge can be reached at 423-727-8883.
