Hunterdon County Commissioner Director John Lanza joins Meals on Wheels #SaveLunch initiative

HUNTERDON COUNTY, NJ – Hunterdon County Commissioner Director John Lanza, along with Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée Robeson, participated in the Meals on Wheels in Hunterdon #SaveLunch initiative on Wednesday. They delivered meals to residents in the community while supporting a vital campaign to raise awareness about senior nutrition programs.

“Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal – it’s a lifeline for many of our seniors. I am honored to participate in the #SaveLunch initiative and to support the incredible work Meals on Wheels does for our community. This program not only provides nourishment but also fosters meaningful connections and combats senior isolation,” Lanza said.

The #SaveLunch campaign is part of a nationwide effort to highlight the essential services provided by Meals on Wheels programs and to advocate for their continued support. The initiative also commemorates the historic day in March 1972 when the Older Americans Act was amended to include a nutrition program for Americans aged 60 and older.

Commissioner Lanza joined volunteers in delivering meals and engaging with senior clients across the county. The deliveries began at the Senior Center in Flemington and the Church of the Holy Spirit in Lebanon, where coolers packed with nutritious meals were distributed to participants.

“Meals on Wheels has been a trusted provider of meals and support services for local seniors for many years now,” said Lanza. “I would like to thank all the volunteers who came out today, especially Regina Hlasney, Executive Director for Meals on Wheels in Hunterdon, for her passion and tireless efforts in supporting seniors in the community.”
