STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — For more than 50 years Monroe County Meals on Wheels has provided food and services to hundreds of people in the Poconos.
Monroe County Meals on Wheels in Stroudsburg is seeing a staggering uptick in clients who need their services as they just surpassed helping more than 350 people every week.
“We’re all affected by the increase in cost and things like that, but it could be as simple as somebody has an aging parent and they don’t live in the state,” said Stacey Koeck the special events coordinator for Monroe County Meals on Wheels.
August is always a busy month for the nonprofit as they use it to spread awareness for its donation drives where several townships are collecting household essentials for its clients as well as public libraries collecting pet food donations through the end of the month.

CHESTNUTHILL TOWNSHIP: Three Weeks before the West End Fair, a couple of Volunteers were discussing with the director of the West End Food Pantry (WEFP), Karena Thek, what to do with the two (2) Beverage Coolers to make them stand out. They discussed using contact paper on the sides and adding the West End Food Pantry Logo. The two Volunteers had the idea to reach out to Bay Image of Brodheadsville to see if they would consider donating vinyl wraps for the coolers. The ask was for a very Basic Wrap consisting of a light gray background, with the WEFP Logo on the top portion and Bay Image's Logo on the bottom portion noting that they donated their services.
