LETTER:Food and caring come on wheels
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mrs P. J. Litherland
Sir: As a volunteer for meals-on-wheels services I welcome publicity, especially as I know every effort is made to improve the service ("The fast lane beckons for meals on wheels", 2 November). I have been driving for MOW for a number of years and I object to Jacquie Clavey describing the hot meals as "leathery beef and stewed vegetables". This week I delivered a choice of ham in parsley sauce or chicken and mushroom pie, and we always cater for diabetics and vegetarians.
As for the elderly being afraid to complain - that is nonsense. If they have a complaint they certainly voice it; we note it and if appropriate act on it. We also receive lots of gratitude and thanks.
Yours faithfully,
P. J. Litherland
