My experience with Davis Community Meals has been primarily through the eyes of the volunteers who prepare the meals there. I know that the cooks for DCM pride themselves on the ability to provide a healthy,nourishing home-cooked meal from the bits and pieces donated by the various stores and food programs in our community. Davis would not seem to be, at first glance, a place where a meals program would be needed. However, there are many in our community who are grateful for that one extra meal that helps get them through the week and make financial ends meet. My hat is off to the Davis Community Meals for the fine work it does. We live in a better community because of their efforts. Susan Linz, Davis resident
