FULTON – Lunch time! While Oswego County continues to shelter-in-place Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) Nutrition Services is committed to ensuring that its Meals on Wheels program continues to provide healthy, nutritious meals to seniors throughout Oswego County.

Since the COVID-19 outbreak OCO has seen an increased demand for its home delivered meal service and is now delivering over 1200 meals each day to more than 600 seniors. OCO staff and community volunteers have stepped up to meet the increase demand. Above OCO Staff Driver Sandy Rude waves as she delivers a meal to one of OCO’s Meals on Wheels clients.

For their safety, and the clients, OCO drivers observe social distancing guidelines and wear masks and gloves.
