Meals on Wheels just shut down its longtime Elm Court site in downtown Portland, and it’s not because of lack of need—it’s because staff and volunteers no longer felt safe. From threats and fires to stepping over needles and even bodies, the situation became unbearable. The closure means more than just lost meals; it’s the end of a gathering spot for many seniors who relied on those daily connections. Even with funding cuts and rising demand, Meals on Wheels is still delivering, but they urgently need more volunteers. How do you think Portland should tackle these safety and support challenges? #Health #BodyHealth #Portland
