I have been a volunteer driver with Meals That Connect for over 12 years. I have met so many wonderful people--staff, other volunteers, and especially my senior clients. Over the years I have lost clients and gained new ones, and they all inspire me. They have told me their stories, shared some of their hurdles, and taught me that aging with a sense of humor and a feeling of gratitude are so very important. They have even inspired me to write about them. This program provides so much for everyone it touches--food, social contact, inspiration!
Hi, My name is Deb Albright. I started sub driving in Paso Robles last year and it is one of the most rewarding things I do. I have fallen in love with the seniors I deliver to and it so warms my heart to see how appreciative and kind they all are. This is a service that is so vital to our community and I am in awe of all the incredible people who make this happen. Meals That Connect is truly a blessing to our community!!!
Meals That Connect is a beacon of hope in a fast-paced world. Volunteering delivering meals has been heartwarming, revealing the seniors' genuine appreciation and the vital lifeline our visits provide. Beyond delivering meals, we form bonds of support and compassion. The seniors eagerly awaiting us speak volumes about the impact Meals That Connect has, providing not just nourishment but also a connection to a lifetime of stories. Without this invaluable service, the prospect of loneliness for these individuals is a stark reality, making Meals That Connect a crucial lifeline of hope in their lives.
Meals That Connect has been an absolute lifesaver for my elderly relatives. As a family, we were concerned about their well-being, especially during the challenges posed by the pandemic. The organization's commitment to delivering nutritious meals to seniors has not only ensured they have proper sustenance but has also brought a sense of joy and connection to their lives.
The variety and quality of the meals are impressive, and the delivery service is reliable. What sets Meals That Connect apart is the personal touch—they go beyond just delivering meals. The friendly volunteers and staff members create a sense of community, making the seniors feel valued and cared for.
In a world where seniors often feel isolated, Meals That Connect has become a lifeline, promoting health and well-being through both nutrition and genuine human connection. Our family is immensely grateful for the positive impact they've had on our loved ones' lives.
Highly recommended!
