The manufacturer will be using the week to help raise awareness of the service that supports the most vulnerable in society to access nutritious hot meals.
On Thank you Tuesday (31st October) Hobart will be gifting one provider with a brand new Ecomax combi oven. Hobart will be asking social media users to nominate at hero who is deserving of the machine.
On the Wednesday of the week (November 1st) Hobart managing director Tracy Southwell will be sharing an exclusive video diary of her experience shadowing a Meals on Wheels delivery operation with Health and Living Independent Support (HILS).
She commented: “Hobart has long been a champion of the healthcare sector and this year we couldn’t be prouder to show our support for a service so beneficial to wider society, yet one that is under pressure like never before.
“My experience on the road with Meals on Wheels was heartwarming, enlightening and incredibly positive. I would urge other business leaders to come forward so they too can see the wider benefits of the service in keeping vulnerable people out of hospital, allowing for early discharge, and freeing up bed space.
“Over and above all of this, the Meals on Wheels service helps avert community malnutrition, while offering many of these people a friendly face and some much-needed respite from loneliness. We can’t wait for the week to begin as we prepare to celebrate one of the most vital healthcare services in the UK.”
