Inspiration/serving the homeless
Mark Twain wrote in the Prince and the Pauper that Hunger is Pride’s Master... Most of us don’t miss a lot of meals, but we were able to help folks who do when we served at The St. Luke pantry program this morning. Tina asked for those who volunteered to stand. It was Dave D. first time. Thank you for all of you who helped.

Meals on Wheels provide warm food for elderly and disabled who are homebound and can’t prepare their meal or go food shopping for themselves. 85% of the clients over the age of 60. They Provide hot meals five days per week. They also provide Meal planning assistant to come up with a better menu for their clients.
The program was established in 1974 by visiting nurses’ associations. Later Health trust took over most of the program. County still runs the program, and they deliver frozen food once a week. They are more than a meal, they provide friendly visits and wellness checks, which is very important to their clients. Most of them don’t see anyone else.
Seven years ago, they also started providing food to the clients’ pets such as dogs, cats, and birds.
