Metroport Meals on Wheels offers a chance for individuals in need of food to connect with the volunteers who bring them warm meals.

The overview: Meals are dropped off to homes of individuals who cannot cook for themselves. Metroport Meals on Wheels also delivers meals to local senior living facilities, King said.
