Meals on Wheels Needs Drivers
Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 6:02AM Observer Reports
Meals on Wheels-Anderson needs drivers immediately to help deliver hot, nutritious meals to our elderly neighbors. 
As things are returning to normal after the pandemic, and teachers, parents and other individuals who had more free time to give during the summer months are returning to the school routines, the organization is in need of food delivery drivers.
For 45 years, Meals on Wheels-Anderson has served individuals across the county and drivers are needed in all areas.
Meals are prepared and packaged at the Meals on Wheels center at 105 S. Fant Street, and volunteer drivers pick up the meals from either the center or a specified location closer to the delivery area. The drivers are given a route to follow which guides them to each home in a certain area. Delivery of meals usually takes one-two hours. The program is currently serving about 475 citizens each week.
Volunteer drivers not only provide one-third of the daily nutrition required for the program’s recipients, but they are also a source of human contact and compassion that many of them may not otherwise receive each day.
Please consider helping the hungry senior citizens of Anderson County. To volunteer call 864-225-6800 or email hannah@acmow.org
