A group of volunteers prepare hot meals to be delivered around town as part of Meals on Wheels.

Meals on Wheels helps hundreds of hungry neighbors in Wichita. They deliver to doorsteps, but recently added meals for community centers across the city. On today’s Wichita Soundscape, KMUW’s Carla Eckels and other staff members went by the Downtown Senior Center to gain insight on the operation — and help to deliver meals.

Carla Eckels is Director of Organizational Culture at KMUW. She produces and hosts the R&B and gospel show Soulsations and brings stories of race and culture to The Range with the monthly segment In the Mix. Carla was inducted into The Kansas African American Museum's Trailblazers Hall of Fame in 2020 for her work in broadcast/journalism.
