April Newsletter

Hello from Meals on Wheels! Spring always feels like a good time for new beginnings, so we are happy to announce that Meals on Wheels is resuming Friday home delivery beginning April 7! A note was sent to each home delivery client over the last couple of weeks, notifying of the change, and encouraging you to call and let us know if you do not want to have Friday deliveries. Please be sure to reach out to your assigned site and notify your site manager if you do not want to receive a Friday delivery of a hot meal. We are thrilled about this change in service, which, of course, would not be possible without our wonderful team and outstanding volunteers! For the past year, we have been working hard to get back to this, so please join us in celebrating!

Speaking of volunteers, I am continually blown away by the wonderful humans that dedicate their time, talent, and resources to this organization and our delightful clients. We would be remiss if we did not take time to properly thank our wonderful team of volunteers, and that is why this month we will be celebrating them for a full week during Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 17-21)! If you are a client, please join us in saying, “Thanks!” to our extraordinary volunteers, without whom, this work would not be possible. We will host a volunteer appreciation luncheon on the afternoon of Friday, April 21. If you are a volunteer, please see page 3 (in April Newsletter) for details. Please note that our offices will be closed on Friday, April 21, to make time for All-Staff Training in the morning and the Appreciation Luncheon. Again, thank you for all you do to make this program what it is. You are appreciated! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out via phone: 509.735.1911 or email: chernandez@seniorliferesources.org
