Debbie- I began volunteering with my sister in law after I retired in 2016.  It was a wonderful way to give back to the community and spend time with her.

Hal- i joined with my wife because it’s an opportunity for us to do something positive together to give back to the community.

  1. Why is volunteering for Meals on Wheels important to you?

Debbie-  MOW is important to me because these daily meals and wellness checks on the elderly help to brighten their day and mine too! I love to feed people-it’s part of my family heritage!

Hal-   My mother and stepfather received meals during my mother’s  illness.  The hot balanced nutritious meals were a great help during a difficult time.

  1. Do you have any fun stories/significant memories about meal delivery that you would like to share with us?

Debbie – Delivering meals is an uplifting experience.  A friendship begins to develop as clients get to know you!  I always enjoy a brief chat and a welcome smile when they meet you at the door!

  1. Is there anything about yourself personally that you would like to share?
