Meals/Year
Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township, Inc., organized in 1975, delivers hot, nutritious meals to Hamilton residents whose physical, mental or social conditions require a home-delivered meal service. Qualified individuals are homebound, chronically ill, handicapped or convalescing. Age or financial ability is not a factor. There is no limit on length of service although it varies with each individual client. The objective of Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township, Inc. is to aid in providing adequate nutrition for the elderly and handicapped. This service enables them to maintain health and independence in their home for a longer period. Daily meal delivery also decreases the feeling of isolation often experienced by the homebound. Hot afternoon meals are professionally planned and prepared by Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Hamilton dietary staff. Meals are delivered five days a week by a group of caring and dedicated volunteers.

A life well lived.
A friend, compassionate and empathetic. Please take a moment to read about Dr. Venkateswaraiyer Subramoni, "Dr. V", who will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Many years ago, Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township made a friend…a very special friend… Dr. Venkateswaraiyer Subramoni, a well known, compassionate human being who just happened to be a doctor. Most of his patients considered him their friend. He brought a warm and friendly feel to his profession, listening to the concerns of his patients, deciding on their treatment, spending time with them, talking about their families, sports, and their personal interests. His patients knew his time was precious, yet he was offering himself to them during that visit. His long time Office Manager, Shirley Gray told me that it was not uncommon for him to make house calls to those who had difficulty getting around.
It comes as no surprise that our paths would cross as we both committed ourselves to making a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors in Hamilton. "Dr. V” was acutely aware of the needs of those in our community – as a Staff Physician at Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas Health, then known as Hamilton Hospital, he knew if someone was alone and what they would need upon discharge. At the top of the list was nutrition, a key component of healing…our program was at the top of his list, especially when the convalescence of his beloved patients was at stake.
Through the years, he never forgot Mobile Meals of Hamilton, referring patients to our program when a home delivered meal service was needed. Everyone knew "Dr. V”, and when they spoke of him, there was a common theme…how this kind man gave of himself to help his patients and how he had the gift of making them feel like family.
Recently, I received a phone call from Dr. Jaya Subramoni, his wife of 52 years, informing me of his passing. The pandemic did not allow us to say goodbye, but "Dr. V” will remain in the hearts of those associated with Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township and its cause. He and his family, his dear wife Jaya, daughter Meena and son Raja have bestowed a financial gift to our organization to memorialize Dr. Venkateswaraiyer Subramoni. This will allow us to continue to assist all of our neighbors in Hamilton who request home delivered meals when their lives dictate it, regardless of their ability to pay.
I extend heartfelt thanks to the Subramoni Family on behalf of the Board of Directors and the many clients whose lives were touched by this exceptional man.

A Founding Father of Mobile Meals Hamilton.
A true visionary, a kind man and patriarch of a loving and giving family.
Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township, Inc. is saddened at the loss of John E. Blair, Sr. Mr. Blair was one of the "Founding Fathers" of our organization over 47 years ago. Since then he, his lovely bride Beverly, sons Jack and Greg and Daughter Janet have remained dedicated to Mobile Meals of Hamilton Township, serving from meal delivery volunteers to board leadership. Our love and support goes out to this wonderful family. Thank you, Mr. Blair for your foresight many years ago...the homebound of Hamilton are eternally grateful to you and the Blair family.
An excerpt from his obituary: ...Jack served on the board of the Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey, was a member of the Selective Insurance Producer Council, Farmers Reliance Producer Council and served on many other industry committees throughout his career. In addition, he also served on the Bank of Mid Jersey Advisory Council.
Jack spent numerous years enjoying coaching his son's baseball and soccer teams in the Nottingham Little League and Hamilton Recreational Soccer League. One of Jack's accomplishments was the development of the Steinert High School Soccer Booster Club. Jack recognized the team needed additional equipment or accessories that the budget could not afford. He organized the parents of the players to form a Booster Club which raised money and collected donations and 100% of the money went to support the school's soccer team. As a result, many other Booster Clubs were formed at Steinert. For this accomplishment, Jack was inducted into the Steinert Sports Hall of Fame. Jack was very active in the Hamilton community and dedicated most of his community service to the Hamilton Rotary Club and the Hamilton YMCA. Jack felt both organizations support the community and provide a better way of life where he both worked and lived.
In the Hamilton Rotary, Jack was President and awarded by his club a Paul Harris Fellow for his "Service Above Self" and held many leadership roles in the Rotary Club as well as the Rotary District. It was not only a wonderful way for him to give back to the community, but he also made many friendships that lasted a lifetime by those who were in Rotary. He was honored by Hamilton Township with the Lifetime Achievement Award for recognition of the commitment to the economic growth of Hamilton Township.
Jack was also President of the Hamilton Area YMCA Board. He was an active member of the board when the Hamilton YMCA built the facility which it currently occupies on White-Mercerville Road. Jack was also very involved in the NJ Grange where he served as Youth Director. Other community involvements were the President of Mobile Meals of Hamilton and as a trustee of the Gothic Lodge #240 and Saint Mark United Methodist Church...
