You Can Help!
Since the flood, the Meals on Wheels Program is in need of additional volunteers. Several regular Meals on Wheels volunteers have been impacted by the flood and are busy with their homes or are helping friends. Are you looking to help the community recover from the flood, but don’t what to do? For anyone wanting to help but unable to assist with clean up, this could be a great alternative.
Do something that can make your life and the lives of others around you better: Volunteer! Research shows that people who are active and involved in their community are happier and healthier.
Volunteers are asked to work one day a week for about 2 hours a day. Volunteers meet at their neighborhood Meals on Wheels Office just prior to noon. Volunteers work in teams of two to deliver meals on a route serving up to 14 seniors. The meals are designed to provide healthy and nutritious hot lunches to older people who are ill or who are recovering from a hospitalization. Many clients have commented that without the Meals on Wheels Program, they would not be able to remain living independently in their own homes.
The volunteers you will be joining are down to earth, enthusiastic, intelligent people who inspire others because they care about one another and their neighbors. You, too, can make a difference: Become a volunteer! To learn more, call the Office for Aging Senior Resource Line at 778-2411.
