Meals on Wheels is an essential service for many elderly people across the country. 

It’s the sort of service that you can’t really put a price on – providing community connection and support to people who might be falling through the cracks. That’s what makes this failed plot to take over Meals on Wheels so shocking. 

It’s a story that’s got it all: dubious alliances, shocking lies, boozy nights – and millions of dollars.
