I've delivered meals for MOWAM for about 13 years now, and have loved it each time. Knowing these homebound people are receiving a nutritious meal means a lot to me, but also knowing they have daily contact with someone is a relief. The organization that must happen to have the meals and cold bags ready each day is staggering, but I've never seen them get it wrong! Through delivering meals I got interested in their Groceries to Go program as well, and now grocery shop for the most wonderful woman each month. I hope I brighten our client's day, but I know some of them brighten mine.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I was talking to a member of my association one day, and happened to mention we deliver for MOWAM, and he said his mom used to receive meals, and that he was so appreciative for what we do.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The only change I see is that they always need more volunteers, whether to deliver meals, grocery shop, make minor home repairs, etc.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & My coworkers and I deliver lunch each Thursday to homebound people.
