A Wake County agency is helping seniors stay cool and making sure they’re fed through the extreme heat. The agency is supporting the elderly through their Meals on Wheels program--and through checking in on those who may be socially isolated. The council says it reaches almost 400 seniors each weekday through its nutrition program alone. But it also provides safety checks for seniors who are socially isolated, gives out fans, and connects seniors with workers who can help them around their home. Ashley McCumber, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Wake County, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss how they’re helping seniors during the oppressive heat.
