Keep The Wheels On Meals On Wheels!
“For want of a nail, a shoe was lost!” For want of a wheel, a meal was lost! For want of a coordinator, a program was lost! My metaphors are spinning out of control! The Meals on Wheels project is in need of a new coordinator. Now, with all due respects to those who have so valiantly performed this task in the past, it does not take a rocket scientist to make this program work!
Every other week (we share the delivery program with another church) St. Michael’s volunteers carry meals to the homes of about 15 individuals who are incapable of cooking for themselves. Roper Hospital prepares the meals. The whole process takes about two hours between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. As the coordinator, you would (1) add to the volunteer corps as needed, (2) plan the delivery route to efficiently use time and petroleum, and (3) provide a solution when one of the regular volunteers calls in sick. (Of course, this is a rash oversimplification, but I’m on a roll and I’m selling!)
The bottom line, my dear friend, is this: You need this ministry, you need this involvement. You need it more than the people that receive the meals! It will fill your soul! Go ahead…pick up the telephone and give me a call. ~ Ken Coker 724-7590
