Since May 2020, in Shropshire, UK, the More than Meals on Wheels service has been serving the old and vulnerable who have been self-isolating. The initiative, paired with community kitchen Osnosh, has prepared more than 40 hot meals per week for distribution, along with a bag of groceries for each recipient. The town council has also contributed to the effort which benefits 72 people.
