What ever Meals on Wheels is serving will be our noon meal tomorrow. The wife is helping with that, and she brings some home.
One is free for driving, she buys the rest.
Anyone help with the Meals, on Wheels?

I met with our local MOW's folks, good folks by the way, but was just not confident that I could be consistent with my schedule. Particularly when we head to the place up north. I do need to sort this as I am now enjoying joining my wife here in Texas who volunteers at a Christian "food bank" and for years has volunteered the same in most places we have lived.

Not now, but I did. I was President of a Royal Canadian Legion branch in Quebec for 14 years total, and the branch members cooked and distributed the local Meals on Wheels. Then the Quebec government came up with some new rules and regulations and we were no longer allowed to do it because we held a liquor license. The bar was never open during the time the Meals on Wheels were prepared and delivered, but that made no difference to them. Now, several years later I hear that a liquor license no longer makes a difference.
These days because I am not there, my contribution to the program is monetary. I truly believe the Meals on Wheels program makes a world of difference in lives everywhere, not just through the meal service, but by the friendships, and the concern and care that comes out of the connection between those who receive and those who prepare and deliver the meals.

I am the fill-in when they need a substitute delivery person here in town. It is a very rewarding task. I think that many of the people who receive the meals look forward to the brief moment of human contact as much as they do the meal.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
