POLSON — I volunteered as a driver for a couple of days last week. My greatest reward was when one of my 16 meal delivery clients commented: “This is the greatest part of my day!” I told her it makes my day too. We parted ways with a smile and a giggle. As I drove away, I felt sad for her loneliness and then I smiled, being glad that I could make her happy, at least for a little while. It is more than food that we deliver.
We need volunteer drivers for lunch with wheels. Pick your day or days to deliver. Substitutes welcome as well. Starting about 10:30 a.m. and finishing in about an hour Monday-Friday. We will guide you.
Save green bags (not Wal-Mart, which are too flimsy) for us. We use 300 bags per month for commodity food distributions.
