LAKE ASHTON FRIENDS OF MEALS ON WHEELS By Marcia Santino This month we shine a spotlight on Meals on Wheels recipient, Alice, 83, who has been receiving meals for 5 years. She is a retired chef no longer able to prepare meals for herself. She calls MOW frequently and leaves long messages commenting on how good the food is that particular day. She also likes to give suggestions on what she would like to have to eat. “We love to get her messages. They are so positive and we enjoy how she comments on the food and volunteers. You can tell that she loves both! Meals on Wheels of Polk County loves to cheer and uplift our recipients. In Alice’s case she uplifts us as well – reminding us of how great a program Meals on Wheels is as we deliver meals to homebound recipients” said Executive Director Susan Eldridge. Please consider becoming a MOWPolk volunteer and/or joining Lake Ashton Friends of Meals on Meals (“LA FOMOW”) to help promote this very deserving non-profit organization in our community.
