Chore Workers Needed
We are glad to see spring arrive and even though we have had a mild winter, it is always wonderful to see everything start to turn green and flowers starting to pop up out of the ground.
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who delivered through the winter and now get to be out delivering meals through the warmer and probably wetter days. This is a great time to try something new and if you would like to be part of helping others in your community, then please consider delivering Meals on Wheels. It only takes about an hour out of your day and you get to meet new people and have fun making a difference in your community.
We will be having our annual Volunteer Celebration event in April to thank all our current volunteers who have given their time and compassion to help our senior citizens in Muscatine with their nutritional needs and their well-being. If not for volunteers, we would not be able to offer all that we do for our seniors who are counting on us.
Thanks again to all of our volunteers for all you do! If you would like more information on volunteering to deliver meals, please contact Diane McCleary at (563) 263-7292 or email at [email protected].
Thank You Volunteers
