Inside the ‘hostile takeover’ of Meals on Wheels


Listen Later

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.
