As the year comes to a close, we are busy preparing for winter weather here at Meals on Wheels. If your meals are delivered to your home, you should have received a two meal “shelf stable” meal box to use in case we can’t deliver meals due to a winter storm. If you did not receive this box, please call your site manager. Now is also a good time to think about making some preparations of your own. Make sure you have plenty of easy-to-prepare food and some bottled water on hand, and check the batteries in your flashlight. If you wake up to snow or ice, please listen to local
radio or TV stations to see if Meals on Wheels is serving or delivering meals. We not only want you to be safe, but also want to keep our volunteers safe and off icy roads and sidewalks.
This month I also want to thank Stephanie Bass and Shandra Knowles for their good work over the past year. They have left our agency, and we wish them the best in their new adventures.
We recently hired Kristi Wright as our new Food Service Manager. Please see the announcement on page 2, and please welcome her when you meet her. Here at Meals on Wheels we want to wish you a very happy, healthy and warm Holiday Season.
