Every day of the year, volunteers and some staff of the Lake County Council on Aging of Ohio deliver nutritious meals to isolated seniors across the county. But on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, a special group of dozens of volunteers dedicate their holiday mornings to delivering hot, traditional meals to seniors who would otherwise be all alone on the holidays.
For close to 30 years, the Council on Aging has arranged these special deliveries, which are made available at no cost to the seniors receiving them. For the past several years, the non-profit agency has partnered with the local hospital system, Lake Health, where meals were prepared.
