MOW - 2011 Update
- Written by Cheryl Foster
2011 was a great year for the UUFW Meals & Wheels program. We delivered approximately 4,400 meals for the year!
The UUFW ParkLake site delivers each Wednesday and Friday to about 43 people which is roughly 6% of the meals served in Waco by the MOW program. Our delivery area is central/north Waco, from Pine Street to Lake Shore and MacArthur to just east of 19th.
There are13 people who deliver for us each week (6 routes on Wednesday and 4 routes on Friday). Only 7 of those are associated with UUFW.
The fab 13 are supported by a wonderful group of sub drivers - and a special thanks goes out to all of those who are available for last minute routes.
Cheryl, Rob and a mixed bag of volunteers drop by to pack up meals and organize the routes. Our drivers then spend about an hour delivering meals and checking on our clients.
We are a vital means of support for the recipients, making sure they are well and have the resources they need. Often the MOW driver is the only person that sees them during the day. We are the eyes and ears for the Central Texas agencies that help disadvantaged, elderly and shut-in people.
Thanks to all those UUs who help: Dawn & Ben McCauley, Steve Bailey, Paul & Jane Derrick, John Nobis, Jim Harris, Marty Van Wagner, Joe Ahlers, Ashley Spicer, Susan Yoder, Jim Spencer, Kathy Overby, Jane Saunders & Sam Hyden.
