Tabitha, your answer for Elder care, recently accepted a $2,500 grant from DuPont Pioneer in support of Tabitha Meals on Wheels. The generous gift was awarded through DuPont Pioneer’s community grant program, an initiative that contributes to organizations that support quality-of-life programs with goals of creating an improved, sustainable lifestyle for people worldwide.

Tabitha Meals on Wheels has sought to improve the lives of Elders in the Lincoln community for more than 40 years. The only program of its kind in the community, Tabitha Meals on Wheels delivers an average of 420 meals daily to Elders in need. A team of volunteers not only delivers the warm and nutritious noon meals, but they also provide a safety check for recipients who may not see anyone else throughout the day. Seventy percent of Meals on Wheels clients are unable to pay the $5.50 cost of a meal because of financial constraints. Tabitha's commitment is to provide meals for those who need them, regardless of their ability to pay.

“We’re so blessed to receive this gift from DuPont Pioneer,” said Christie Hinrichs, Tabitha president and CEO. “Tabitha Meals on Wheels relies on donors and volunteers to help feed hundreds in our community each day. Often it’s that meal that allows individuals to remain in their homes, independently and safely. Thank you, DuPont Pioneer, for helping us extend our outreach.”

DuPont Pioneer is the world’s leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing high-quality seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries.  DuPont Pioneer provides agronomic support and services to help increase farmer productivity and profitability, and strives to develop sustainable agricultural systems for people everywhere.

As a nonprofit organization serving 28 Nebraska counties, Tabitha’s love embraces a society where everyone is valued and empowered to live life to the fullest, with compassionate at-home support, innovative living communities, exceptional rehabilitation, health care and hospice services.
