Humane Society Partnership

Studies have shown that meal recipients give part of their meals to their pets. To eliminate this issue, we are finding ways that we can provide a meal for our seniors and their furry friends! Meals on Wheels of Northeast Tennessee has paired with Appalachian Highlands Humane Society with a mission to provide appropriate nutritional needs to meal recipients and their pets. To support this partnership, please participate in one of the following activities:

Ongoing: Food Donations to the Washington County Animal Shelter

Ongoing: Amazon Donations to the Washington County Humane Society
