Wilbert Thomas Finds Nutrition, Support and a Smile

For Wilbert Thomas, Meals on Wheels Greater Houston has been a game-changer.

Wilbert Thomas Finds Nutrition, Support and a Smile

In his younger days, Thomas was an active “workhorse.” Injuries to his knee and shoulders have made it harder to prepare healthy meals for himself.

The first delivery made an impression. “When the first meal came, I was hooked,” he said. “The little lettuce, the pickles, the hamburger buns. Okay, I’m sold.”

Thomas appreciates the nutritious, portioned meals that help him stay on track with his diet. Beyond the food, he sees the program’s greater value.

“If you’re not on Meals on Wheels, get it,” he said. “And if you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask. How will you find out if you don’t ask?”

He also encourages others to support the program. “If you are a person that wants to help another person, give to Meals on Wheels,” Thomas said. “Because it’s a big help. I’m good with it.”
