I am a volunteer with many organizations, but my favorite is Meals on Wheels. It's been a family affair with 9 members of my extended family having served as volunteers---one was a driver until age 92! Volunteering with Meals on Wheels is a family tradition that has proven to be very rewarding---for the clients, but also for us individually. There is nothing more important to a person struggling with issues of health or of aging than to see a smiling face each day, to hear a friendly "hello", and to receive nutritious and tasty food brought by a volunteer.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
observing the smiling faces of clients as I greet them; hearing a "thank-you" from appreciative clients; and knowing that over 350 Lehigh County residents are in better health.
