As an organiser for the Australian Labor Party Taylor is credited with persuading Don Dunstan to run for the South Australian lower house seat of Norwood in 1952.[1] Taylor founded Australian Meals on Wheels in South Australia in 1953, and in 1954 the first meal was served from the Port Adelaide kitchen.[2][1] The first meals were delivered to eight elderly Port Adelaide residents on 9 August 1954.[3][4] She was appointed M.B.E. in 1959.[1] The South Australian Electoral district of Taylor is named after her.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Australian Dictionary of Biography |last= Greg Crafter |first= |authorlink= |year= 2002 |volume= 16 |id= |id2=taylor-doris-irene-11825 |title= Taylor, Doris Irene (1901–1968) |accessdate= 26 December 2013 }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Taylor, Doris Irene}}{{Australia-bio-stub}}2. ^Greg Crafter, Taylor, Doris Irene (1901 - 1968) {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080816005026/http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A160438b.htm |date=2008-08-16 }}, Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 16, Melbourne University Press, 2002, pp 364-365. 3. ^Prepared in a Nissen hut donated by the Le Messurier family, the meals were cooked and delivered by 11 volunteer helpers, an example since followed by thousands of caring, community-minded South Australians throughout the State. Doris Taylor was an inspiration to many; paralysed from the age of 11 after a childhood accident, she spent her life using a wheelchair. Doris had the vision to imagine volunteers supporting housebound members of their community by home-delivering a nourishing meal, and the determination and passion to make it happen. For the 15 years from the birth of Meals on Wheels in South Australia to her death in 1968, Doris Taylor remained the inspiration and the driving force behind the organisation. Today, Doris’s dream of helping the elderly, housebound and disabled remain at home a long as possible has grown into a team of 10,000 volunteers who prepare, drive and deliver meals to 5,000 clients across South Australia.
