Nourish Meals on Wheels delivered 1,360 meals the day before Thanksgiving so that their clients could enjoy a proper feast on the holiday as well as meals for the long weekend. The dedicated volunteer drivers had much more to deliver than food that day. Members of the community came together to create cards and crafts to make Thanksgiving special for these seniors and homebound adults. For many clients, social isolation is all too real, and the Nourish volunteer may be the only person they see throughout the day. Nourish is so thankful for the community coming together each holiday to show our neighbors that they are loved. Thank you to the school children who made turkeys, the women’s group who crafted hand-made baskets filled with candy, the churches that made cards, and our amazing chef, volunteers, and staff.
“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.” -Margaret Cousins
