Speaker 1: the wonderful services and benefits they offer for seniors, you know,
0:14
Speaker 1: those that are getting cared for either in the home
0:16

0:33
Speaker 1: doing each and every day, and I know you got
0:34
Speaker 1: some real exciting news to pass along to my listeners.

Speaker 2: Bearcats tomorrow go against a big game against BYU.
0:54
Speaker 1: Natalie, we didn't go past your educational background. Are you
0:56
Speaker 1: a local girl?
0:57
Speaker 3: I grew up in Dayton, so I'm a little bit local,
1:00
Speaker 3: but I did marry a Westsider.
1:02
Speaker 1: Wow at your element huh A little bit? Yeah, let
1:07
Speaker 1: me guess he's a frugal, financially conservative guy. Sure, there's
1:13
Speaker 1: always an outlier. I always said it was in the
1:16
Speaker 1: genetic pull over the west Side. You know, frugality rules
1:19
Speaker 1: the day, or at least it did as I was
1:20
Speaker 1: growing up, and it's something I inherited from my West
1:22
Speaker 1: Side blood or maybe my parents. But yeah, very frugal
1:26
Speaker 1: and conservative when it comes to whether or not you're
1:28
Speaker 1: going to spend money. All right, moving away from that,
1:30
Speaker 1: talking about meals on wheels, How long has meals on
1:32
Speaker 1: Wheel's been around? I was looking at the statistics of
1:35
Speaker 1: the number of seniors that you held, pretty overwhelming number
1:39
Speaker 1: out there, but meals on wheels, let me remind my
1:41
Speaker 1: listeners to the extent they're not familiar with it, what
1:43
Speaker 1: you do each and every day, the nature of the organizations.
1:47
Speaker 1: Then we'll pivot over to this exciting news you've got.
1:49
Speaker 2: Sure, thanks for so Meals on the wheels of Southwest
1:51
Speaker 2: Ohio and Northern Kentucky has really been operating under that
1:54
Speaker 2: brand since about twenty twenty two. In the COVID era,
1:57
Speaker 2: we were able to come together with two other nonprofits
2:01
Speaker 2: in town. Our history really dates back to nineteen thirty
2:04
Speaker 2: seven as Wesley Community Services. During the pandemic, we merged
2:09
Speaker 2: with Cincinnati Area Senior Services also known as CASS and
2:13
Speaker 2: fifty five North, which was the Hyde Park Senior Center.
2:16
Speaker 1: I seem to recall my dad having some connection with Wesley.
2:19
Speaker 2: Jerry absolutely was involved with Wesley for many, many years.
2:21
Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful. I'm glad that there's that, you know,
2:24
Speaker 1: personal connection, just different name, same kind of helping out.
2:27
Speaker 1: So you home deliver meals. We use it for folks
2:31
Speaker 1: that are house bound, you know, shut in types, folks
2:34
Speaker 1: without the family and structural support to get fed every day.
2:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, so, I think a lot of us, a
2:39
Speaker 2: lot of folks know us for our home delivered meal program.
2:41
Speaker 2: We serve over ten thousand clients in the Greater Cincinnati
2:44
Speaker 2: Northern Kentucky area. About seventy five hundred of those are
2:47
Speaker 2: our home delivered meal clients. Beyond that, We also provide
2:51
Speaker 2: nutrition at over twenty congregate sites throughout the city. That's
2:55
Speaker 2: anything from the Green Township Senior Center over on the
2:58
Speaker 2: west side over to the east side and the Anderson
3:00
Speaker 2: and Senior Center, and then we have over we have
3:02
Speaker 2: about fourteen sites in northern Kentucky that we're at daily providing,
3:06
Speaker 2: providing meals, lunches, breakfasts. It's folks for a place for
3:10
Speaker 2: them to gather. Beyond that, we have a pretty robust
3:13
Speaker 2: transportation program.
3:15
Speaker 1: You do, yeah, we do.
3:16
Speaker 2: We're able to provide about forty thousand individual trips a
3:18
Speaker 2: year for grocery stores, doctors' offices, social gatherings, et cetera.
3:22
Speaker 2: Just a way to get folks out of the house
3:24
Speaker 2: who don't have the ability to maybe drive anymore, or
3:27
Speaker 2: looking for kind of that social interaction.
3:29
Speaker 1: I had no idea. And these are all services that
3:32
Speaker 1: you offer to the senior community at no cost or
3:35
Speaker 1: is it a cost associated with it, because of course,
3:37
Speaker 1: I mean gasoline sales, food costs are food is outrageous.
3:44
Speaker 1: Let's all uniformally agree the price of food's gone through
3:46
Speaker 1: the roof and everybody's complaining about it. So how does
3:48
Speaker 1: the operation deal with these financially sure.
3:50
Speaker 2: So all of our services go through the Council line
3:53
Speaker 2: Aging of Southwestern Ohio. Any client who wishes to take
3:57
Speaker 2: a look at the services that we can provide can
3:58
Speaker 2: reach out to them directly. They'll work through the intake,
4:01
Speaker 2: they'll get them set up and get them connected with
4:04
Speaker 2: us as well, and we can go through, you know,
4:06
Speaker 2: just the variety of services that we offer, and we provide.
4:08
Speaker 1: Wonderful and again that's much more than a meal dot
4:13
Speaker 1: Org said very slowly and articulating the words, much more
4:16
Speaker 1: than a meal dot or because there if you type
4:18
Speaker 1: in meals on wheels in your search engine. There are
4:20
Speaker 1: a lot of these organizations that's wonderful and it's great
4:23
Speaker 1: that they're everywhere, But if you want the one locally,
4:25
Speaker 1: you want to maybe make a gift. I encourage my
4:27
Speaker 1: listeners to do that, most notably this time of year
4:29
Speaker 1: or volunteer. We'll talk about some of the additional things
4:31
Speaker 1: that we as a community can do for them, and
4:35
Speaker 1: the announcement about a new well, I'm not even going
4:38
Speaker 1: to reveal anything. It's a little teaser there. We got
4:39
Speaker 1: some important things to talk about. We will continue with
4:42
Speaker 1: Mike and Natalie from Meals on wheels don't go away
4:44
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Do you own a small business? A
4:47
Speaker 1: seismic shift is coming. It's time to get super short
4:50
Speaker 1: cod of KRCD talk station A thirty eight coming E
4:56
Speaker 1: thirty nine. If you have KCD talk station Meals on
4:59
Speaker 1: Wheels by Cogan and Natalie cooking in studio. They're for
5:02
Speaker 1: meals on wheels, find them locally much more than a
5:06
Speaker 1: meal dot Org and I we're talking to them. I
5:09
Speaker 1: was talking to them on the break, Mike and Natalie
5:11
Speaker 1: about they do all these meal preparations in house ninety
5:14
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent the vast majority you are cooking
5:17
Speaker 1: the meals in house. And then of course they have
5:19
Speaker 1: folks that are volunteering and delivering the meals to those
5:21
Speaker 1: seniors out there in the world that need them. We
5:22
Speaker 1: went through a little bit of the betting process on that.
5:24
Speaker 1: But you reach over ten thousand seniors you mentioned, but
5:28
Speaker 1: the number of meals, which will move over and segue
5:31
Speaker 1: into the announcement you have you outgrew your facility. It
5:35
Speaker 1: sounds like by an overwhelming amount. Let my listeners know
5:38
Speaker 1: how many meals you prepare annually and what your facility
5:41
Speaker 1: was set up to do versus what you actually do.
5:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're a little tight on space right now, Brian.
5:45
Speaker 2: We're the building that we're in, we've been in for
5:47
Speaker 2: a number of years, and we're designed optimally to be
5:49
Speaker 2: about three hundred thousand meals a year to produce in house.
5:52
Speaker 2: Right now we're producing about one point two million meals.
5:55
Speaker 2: So we're at the max for sure.
5:58
Speaker 1: For sure, there's that much need and demand out there,
6:01
Speaker 1: there is.
6:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and what.
6:02
Speaker 3: You're yeah, well, I think our distribution manager said it best.
6:06
Speaker 3: We can't do any more, but we can't do any less.
6:09
Speaker 3: We can't do anymore because we are really truly at capacity,
6:12
Speaker 3: and we can't do any less because the need is
6:14
Speaker 3: there and the need is growing.
6:16
Speaker 1: So you how many total meals on Wheels organizations are
6:21
Speaker 1: there out there in the country? It is ever five thousand,
6:23
Speaker 1: five thousand, and where where does Cincinnati and the much
6:27
Speaker 1: more than meal dot org Meals on Wheels chapter here
6:29
Speaker 1: in southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky. Where does it rank
6:32
Speaker 1: among those five thousand?
6:34
Speaker 2: So we're always ranked among the five or six largest
6:36
Speaker 2: in the United States.
6:38
Speaker 1: That that I mean in this greater Cincinnati area.
6:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, we serve thirteen counties, five counties in Ohio and
6:43
Speaker 2: eight in northern Kentucky.
6:45
Speaker 1: Is there a reason there's so many that rely on
6:47
Speaker 1: meals on wheels here? Is it just the outreach that
6:49
Speaker 1: you engage in the awareness because you know, I think Chicago,
6:52
Speaker 1: New York. Sure, there's a lot bigger cities out there,
6:55
Speaker 1: there are, and you see a lot of cities.
6:57
Speaker 2: I was looking, you know at Atlanta and Houston where
6:59
Speaker 2: you know, they've gotten larger populations, but they've got multiple
7:02
Speaker 2: organizations in those cities that are doing this work. We're
7:05
Speaker 2: kind of the leading organization that's that's providing the services
7:08
Speaker 2: that we're able to provide.
7:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so kind of a monopoly, which in one respect
7:13
Speaker 1: is a really good thing, but in another you're at capacity.
7:15
Speaker 1: You can't help anybody else. So you are over Radcliffe Drivers,
7:20
Speaker 1: Where you are now? Yep? Yep? Where are you moving to?
7:24
Speaker 2: So we're heading east, heading off the west side a
7:26
Speaker 2: little bit. We last April we publicly launched our Driving
7:31
Speaker 2: into the Future campaign, which was a thirty million dollar
7:34
Speaker 2: private fundraising campaign for our new facilities. Thanks to the
7:37
Speaker 2: amazing generosity of this community, we've raised almost twenty five
7:41
Speaker 2: million dollars towards the word.
7:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all private dollars. Private. Oh, I love hearing that.
7:46
Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome.
7:47
Speaker 2: We're we're very blessed here in Cincinnati to have the
7:50
Speaker 2: philanthropic arm.
7:52
Speaker 1: That we have. Yes, now it's just individuals or businesses.
7:56
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you are a tax free organization or
7:59
Speaker 1: a tax exempt organization. Are you a five h one
8:01
Speaker 1: to three CE organization? So this is a tax deductible
8:04
Speaker 1: contribution out there. Absolutely a strong suggestion, given that we're
8:07
Speaker 1: in the giving time of year, there's got to be
8:09
Speaker 1: someone out there in the world, some business, some individual
8:11
Speaker 1: that might be more than happy to donate to this
8:15
Speaker 1: obviously in need organization meals on will. So we're going
8:18
Speaker 1: to encourage him to do that. The facility, then we'll
8:21
Speaker 1: be able to manage the one point two million that
8:24
Speaker 1: you do. Now is it. Can you grow with a
8:26
Speaker 1: new facility as well?
8:27
Speaker 2: We absolutely can. So we're really excited to be moving
8:30
Speaker 2: over to Columbia Township. The old John Nolan Ford from
8:33
Speaker 2: many listeners who may have bought a car or two
8:35
Speaker 2: from there, has sat empty for a couple of years,
8:38
Speaker 2: and we were able to acquire that facility and We're
8:40
Speaker 2: going to retrofit it from the ground up into a
8:43
Speaker 2: really a state of the art facility that will allow
8:45
Speaker 2: us to produce up to three million meals a year.
8:49
Speaker 2: But beyond just the meals brand, we're also going to
8:51
Speaker 2: have access to community rooms our volunteer operations, which I
8:54
Speaker 2: do want to mention We've got over five thousand volunteers
8:56
Speaker 2: a year that come in and really make the organization
8:58
Speaker 2: come to life. They will have more resources, more space,
9:02
Speaker 2: and more ability to make this thing happen.
9:04
Speaker 1: Now I see on your website much more than a
9:07
Speaker 1: meal dot or I'm gonna mentioned like nineteen more times.
9:10
Speaker 1: So we're done here to get folks remembering it. You
9:12
Speaker 1: do have a link for volunteering. What types of volunteers
9:15
Speaker 1: are you hoping for? What are the ways in which
9:17
Speaker 1: people can volunteer and get signed up to volunteer.
9:20
Speaker 2: So it's everything from you know, girl Scouts will come
9:22
Speaker 2: in and decorate birthday bags. It's one of the highlights
9:24
Speaker 2: of our clients. They'll get birthday bag on their birthday
9:26
Speaker 2: every year and yeah it is so sweet. But they'll
9:30
Speaker 2: you know, help pack snack boxes in addition to the
9:33
Speaker 2: meals we help to you know, stuff pantries every week
9:36
Speaker 2: with kind of just some of the essentials cookies, crackers,
9:38
Speaker 2: juice boxes, fruit cups, things like that. They can also
9:42
Speaker 2: come in and pack pet food. I think a lot
9:44
Speaker 2: of folks don't know that we have a pretty large
9:45
Speaker 2: pet program.
9:47
Speaker 1: When we do. We do.
9:48
Speaker 2: We provide over thirty pounds of pet food per year
9:52
Speaker 2: for all of our clients.
9:53
Speaker 1: You know, never would have thought of that, because the
9:58
Speaker 1: joy of having a come opinion when you are a senior,
10:01
Speaker 1: it's like one of the best things you can do
10:03
Speaker 1: is have a catter a dog in the house to
10:04
Speaker 1: give you the love and attention, give you something to
10:06
Speaker 1: do as a senior. Never thought about the reality because
10:09
Speaker 1: I own a dog, and I know how expensive dog
10:11
Speaker 1: food's gotten. She's Louise, it's gotten expensive. Yeah, it sure has.
10:15
Speaker 2: And you nailed it. I mean, it's really it's about
10:18
Speaker 2: being able to bride.
10:19
Speaker 1: For the senior.
10:20
Speaker 2: But we recognized how important that companionship is for their
10:23
Speaker 2: quality of life. Yeah, so to be able to help
10:25
Speaker 2: them maintain that, maintain it in their home and promote
10:28
Speaker 2: that independent living, it's really important for us. Now what
10:30
Speaker 2: about the drivers, So all of our drivers, our staff,
10:33
Speaker 2: we're staff about one hundred and forty and all of
10:36
Speaker 2: our drivers are staff drivers. They are not volunteers, and
10:39
Speaker 2: that's important to us because it allows us to maintain
10:41
Speaker 2: continuity with our seniors. Our seniors really develop a strong
10:45
Speaker 2: relationship with their drivers. They know who's going to be there,
10:48
Speaker 2: when they're going to get there, and in many ways,
10:50
Speaker 2: our drivers become an extension of their family.
10:52
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And then there's also the idea of them
10:54
Speaker 1: being your employees, your background checks to make sure that
10:57
Speaker 1: they're up to snuff on their ability to drive and
11:00
Speaker 1: don't have a commercial driver's license from say California. Sorry,
11:03
Speaker 1: I had to say that. Don't do not hold Mike
11:07
Speaker 1: and Natalie responsible for the editorial comments from Brian Thomas
11:11
Speaker 1: related to politics. As we talk about this important organization,
11:13
Speaker 1: Meals on Wheels, we'll do one more segment, much more
11:17
Speaker 1: than a meal Dot talk Station, perfect timing, Judge Tracker
11:26
Speaker 1: Take forty nine fifty five KRC the talk station Joey
11:31
Speaker 1: pez See Meals on Wheels, making it a wonderful world.
11:49
Speaker 1: Always say when Joey sings that song on a Friday,
11:51
Speaker 1: there's always something out there to look at and say,
11:53
Speaker 1: it is a wonderful world. And I am sitting in
11:55
Speaker 1: front of two people, Mike Cogan and Natalie cooking from
11:58
Speaker 1: Meals on Wheels who are pro that helping out ten
12:01
Speaker 1: thousand seniors cooking one point three million meals annually and
12:06
Speaker 1: in a new space that allow them to expand to
12:08
Speaker 1: three million meals annually. We're talking about volunteer work. You're
12:11
Speaker 1: talking about your drivers that are on staff and off air.
12:14
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned the pet food. What other service
12:19
Speaker 1: you offer and help seniors get the pet food? I
12:22
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking really out of the box. I'm thinking meals
12:24
Speaker 1: on wheels. They deliver a meal and they wheel away.
12:28
Speaker 1: Because these drivers are regularly and a constant presence in
12:32
Speaker 1: these seniors' lives, they get to know them. As I
12:34
Speaker 1: found out over the break, quite often they become a
12:36
Speaker 1: temporary plumber or a can you fix this? Why you're here?
12:40
Speaker 1: Kind of thing. So they are in the best possible position,
12:44
Speaker 1: like a teacher looking out at the students each and
12:47
Speaker 1: every day. They're in the best possible position to observe
12:50
Speaker 1: whether or not something's going awry in that senior's world.
12:53
Speaker 1: And I understand that you partner with the social Protective
12:56
Speaker 1: Services so you can alert them if there's anything going on,
12:59
Speaker 1: or you can investigate it. Yeah.
13:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, So our drivers are all trained to spot something amiss,
13:04
Speaker 3: whether that is perhaps a utility that isn't working, or
13:10
Speaker 3: if our client is looks injured or looks ill or
13:15
Speaker 3: looks a little bit different, or maybe something is off,
13:18
Speaker 3: they're able to report that back to our team. We're
13:20
Speaker 3: able to escalate it. So again what Mike was saying
13:23
Speaker 3: about the continuity between our drivers and our clients, we
13:27
Speaker 3: really deliver a wellness check whenever we drop off food.
13:30
Speaker 1: Great. Well, since Patty Scott was on earlier, I think
13:32
Speaker 1: you are ideally suited to maybe partner up with Heart
13:35
Speaker 1: for Seniors and keep some of those amazing bandages in
13:40
Speaker 1: those drivers cars. They could drop a box off any
13:43
Speaker 1: of the seniors that have any wounds or anything like that.
13:45
Speaker 1: These co peel on and off without tearing the skin,
13:48
Speaker 1: without doing any wound. I mean, it's just they're wonderful.
13:51
Speaker 1: So here I am trying to merge YouTube together to
13:54
Speaker 1: continue to help the seniors out in the community. You
13:57
Speaker 1: also off we were joking about this on the break
14:00
Speaker 1: because my mom struggles with technology, how I even struggle
14:03
Speaker 1: with technology and Mike you had mentioned you also offer
14:06
Speaker 1: seniors financial or not only financial education, but help with
14:09
Speaker 1: technological advancement. Sure.
14:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, our digital literacy program, we're really able to put
14:15
Speaker 2: technology into their hands and then teach them how to
14:18
Speaker 2: use it. I think often, you know, through the pandemic,
14:21
Speaker 2: we learned how important things like FaceTime we're to help
14:23
Speaker 2: keep in touch. But you know, it's also important to know,
14:25
Speaker 2: you know, when you leave a doctor's appointment, how to
14:27
Speaker 2: log back into your mind chart accountant on staying you
14:29
Speaker 2: do that when you find out, you let me know,
14:33
Speaker 2: So I think just to be able to give them
14:35
Speaker 2: all the resources that they have. Our protective services program,
14:38
Speaker 2: we've got a team of licensed social workers that help
14:41
Speaker 2: with over two hundred cases a year that help manage that.
14:44
Speaker 1: So that's really great, No wonder you're so wildly successful
14:48
Speaker 1: in the area. So anything else my listeners need to
14:50
Speaker 1: know about, because I'm doing everything I can to get
14:52
Speaker 1: them to adopt this your organization and again make a
14:56
Speaker 1: contribution at much more than a meal dot org. Sure, thanks, Brian.
15:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, really we are unable to do what we
15:02
Speaker 2: do without the support from the community, and right now
15:05
Speaker 2: in the season of giving it as we approach the
15:07
Speaker 2: end of the year. You know, any contributions and gifts
15:10
Speaker 2: to our organization make a tremendous impact. One of my
15:14
Speaker 2: favorite things that I get to do is when I
15:15
Speaker 2: walk through the office and I see, you know, a
15:18
Speaker 2: box that's being delivered to a senior, and I see
15:20
Speaker 2: the name on that box.
15:21
