Podcasts about Meals on Wheels

In this episode, I'm opening up about something incredibly close to my heart: the power of service and how it has shaped my life through both joy and unimaginable loss. I share my early experiences volunteering with Meals on Wheels, the years I spent serving in Haiti with Haitian Roots, and the profound shift that happened after losing my 14-year-old son, Gage. In the middle of grief, I watched his friends search for comfort and it became clear that we needed to help them channel their pain into purpose. That moment became the beginning of the Gage Schroeder Compassion Foundation. You'll hear how we created a compassion-based curriculum for teens and elementary students, started Compassion Clubs across the country, and awarded nearly $80,000 in scholarships over the past eight years. I also talk about rebuilding after divorce, moving back to Utah, and how serving alongside kids continues to bring healing, purpose, and connection into my life.   Resources: The Meeting Place Membership Rock The Reels 1:1 Coaching Free Client Welcome Guide Additional Trainings and Resources Connect with Brittni: Follow me on the Gram - @brittni.schroeder Join my Facebook Group  Visit my website Subscribe to my Youtube You can find the complete show notes here: https://brittnischroeder.com/podcast/finding-healing-through-service  

Send us a textThe moment you step through the door for a holiday visit, everything feels different: expired food in the fridge, untouched meds, slippery steps, and a parent who seems a little more confused than the last FaceTime. That's the recognition moment countless families experience in December—and the exact point where a responsive, empathetic home care agency can make all the difference.We dive into a practical playbook for meeting families where they are right now. You'll hear how to craft clear, seasonal messaging that mirrors what adult children see—bath avoidance, mobility issues, unpaid bills, loneliness—and offer one simple next step: a same-day safety assessment. We walk through a high-converting email cadence for early December, Christmas week, and post-New Year; social and search strategies that reach ages 45–65; and print leave-behinds designed for referral partners who want tools, not pitches. You'll also get our winter home safety checklist approach, plus ideas to get you in the home quickly and respectfully.Beyond marketing, we share community moves that build genuine goodwill and long-term referrals: cookie decorating events with activity directors, elf-style deliveries with small gifts, reading classic holiday stories, partnering with Meals on Wheels, and sponsoring residents who don't have family. We also outline concrete ways to support current clients through the season—decorating safely, gift shopping, post office runs, worship transport, wellness checks, and caregiver-led connections with distant relatives—so care feels personal and present.If you're ready to turn December's urgency into compassionate action, this guide gives you the words, the assets, and the timing to show up fast and do real good. Subscribe for more timely strategies, share this episode with a colleague who needs new holiday ideas, and leave a quick review to help us reach more agencies ready to serve.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

In this episode of the Living with Disabilities Advocacy Podcast, the host, Katrina, discusses the crucial importance of both medical insurance and food assistance for people with disabilities. It emphasizes that maintaining medical coverage is essential because individuals with disabilities often require extensive medical care, specialized treatments, preventative services, long-term support programs like Medicaid, and coverage for high-cost medications and medical equipment. Losing insurance can lead to severe health risks and overwhelming financial hardship.The episode then shifts to food assistance, describing how disability and food insecurity often compound one another. It explains how proper nutrition affects chronic medical conditions, medication effectiveness, and overall health. It also highlights the financial challenges people with disabilities face—such as fixed incomes, high medical expenses, and barriers to employment—which make food programs like SNAP vital.The episode also addresses physical accessibility issues, including difficulties in grocery shopping, cooking, and transportation. We demonstrate the essential role of programs like Meals on Wheels and delivery services in ensuring nutrition and reducing isolation.Finally, the episode concludes by reinforcing that medical care and food assistance together support independence, allow people to remain in their homes, and promote inclusion and equity for the disability community. I encourage you to tune in once a month on a Friday for new episodes, available on various podcast platforms. Let's continue to raise awareness and educate others about the importance of accessibility in our community.International Suicide Hotline⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Becoming a guest form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScN0j1lThH8KaknxmeXIESTBC5NJWJjj9V0jubnYT5yMAffiw/viewform?usp=sf_link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Living with Disabilities Official Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sites.google.com/view/livingwithdisabilities/home⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Any amount of support is appreciated for the show.  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypal.me/TrinaSmith16⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spreading awareness will go a long way toward creating a solid foundation for those who desire to pursue higher education.

This week we're privileged to talk with designer Amie Corbin of Lola Crow Cross Stitch. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderer's Guild of America at egausa.org. Amie has sewn clothes and stitched all of her life. Her first full-time venture was making costumes for a belly-dance troupe. The pandemic changed things and she shifted to cross-stitch design and has rapidly built up a large and fascinating catalog of designs. In the conversation, we learn how that all happened and what's behind her many creative charts. Her latest design, “A Very Bigfoot Christmas” is a set of three ornaments. Through the end of November 2025, stitchers can get the charts by making a minimum $10 contribution to Meals on Wheels. All of the details are at the Lola Crow website.—Cindy and Gary Listen to the podcast: Watch the video You can listen by using the player above or you can subscribe to Fiber Talk through iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Audible, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Podbay, and Podbean.

It cost an awful lot of money to drag every single general and admiral to Quantico, Virginia for a glorified pep rally that probably would have been better as an email. Pete Hegseth opened with, “Welcome to the Department of War.” He talked about training and grooming standards and decried “fat generals.” Trump then took the stage and talked about how successful it's been to have the National Guard in some American cities before going on another strange rambling rant. When Google, which owns YouTube, banned Donald Trump from its platform after the January 6th insurrection of 2021, it did so because Trump was fomenting the very violence he now accuses the left of. YouTube said Trump's ban was “in light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence.” Trump sued over the ban and now Google is settling. They will pay more than $24 million to a nonprofit set up to build the White House ballroom. The venue, which is set to be bigger than the footprint of the White House, will be opulent and dripping with gold touches and chandeliers. Meanwhile, Trump has cut Meals on Wheels programs for seniors who have trouble getting food, food stamps for the hungry and Medicaid services for the poor. It brings to mind French royalty's complete out of touch failure to help those struggling, “Let them eat cake!” Trump had a major cognitive incident while talking to reporters. When asked if he would be attending a massive upcoming military meeting, he didn't understand the question - despite it being clarified three times. Finally, Vice President JD Vance had to step in to answer. It made Trump look old and incompetent and begs the question …Is Trump even capable of being in charge? Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will discuss. Mark shares a conversation with Paul Glastris, of the Washington Monthy. In addition to his work as a journalist, Glastris was President Bill Clinton's chief speechwriter from September 1998 to the end of his presidency. It's Tech Tuesday!
