INDIANAPOLIS -- Have you seen the hashtag #LetsDoLunch on Twitter?

It's a hashtag with a simple mission – help the millions of senior Americans struggling with hunger and living in isolation.

Now Meals on Wheels is using the hashtag to reach new volunteers.

In the U.S., 15.2 million seniors live in isolation, and 1-in-6 faces the threat of hunger. Meals on Wheels works to lower those numbers by providing medically-tailored meals, a social visit and a safety check, all in one.

In Central Indiana, 3,600 people use the service – meaning there's plenty of room for volunteers.
