Meals on Wheels

The Meals On Wheels program provides one hot, nutritious meal per day for those age 60 and older who are home-bound and unable to prepare their own meals. Currently, volunteers deliver meals to an average of 400 people a day here in the valley.

I have volunteered a few times during the summer with Meals on Wheels. I find this a very easy way to get involved in the community and make an impact on people's lives. Something as simple as handing someone a meal can mean so much to a person. I worked the same route each time and got to know a few residents. They were always so grateful and happy to see us.
