Too many of our aging neighbors experience hunger and isolation, wishing a helping hand would knock on their door. That’s why Meals on Wheels volunteers show up at the doorsteps of millions of seniors each year, providing hope and comfort to older Americans in need. A transformational knock at the door can change lives, like it did for Ruth.
Ruth has lived a remarkable life. Serving in the Air Force, owning her own catering business and participating in the Ice Capades are among her many accomplishments. Today, she suffers from limited mobility, which keeps her from fully enjoying the beautiful park near her assisted living community, a vivid juxtaposition to the remarkable things she’s done in her life.
Getting a knock on the door from a Meals on Wheels volunteer is an opportunity for Ruth to be fed, not just by the daily nutritious meals, but also through connecting with the kind souls who deliver them and remind her, with their compassion, that she’s not alone.
They are a blessing; they’re totally a blessing.Ruth
