I was inspired to give because I have been very blessed and felt compelled to give back. I have known about Meals on Wheels for many years, and now that I’m older myself, I am more keenly aware of seniors’ needs and the difficulties they may have in getting their needs met. Your organization helps them meet their most basic need — food. I wanted to be a part of your team as a result. Doug
