Passing this along from Michele Carroll.......
Our family has been delivering meals to the elderly, through meals-on wheels, one day a week, for nearly a year now. It has been a blessing to us to be able to serve our community and minister to others. As a home school family the time commitment is ideal and it is something we can all do together. Below is the poem posted in The Reminder last year that got us started. Routes are available in Ellington, Manchester and Vernon. Caroline would love to hear from you, if you are interested.
There is a faithful army of driving volunteers,
They’re with Meals-on-Wheels through CRT
They’ve been doing it for years.
They’re based at Trinity Lutheran Church
on Meadowlark Road in Vernon.
Deliveries are made to neighboring towns
volunteering for them is a “turn on”.
But, Lately we’ve had some problems
With retirement, illness and such.
We need to rebuild our network.
We need your help so much!
If you can give just one hour a week,
We’d be thriving once again.
Our focus is feeding the elderly.
They need us, they want us. AMEN.
You just come to the church
and pick up your meals,
them deliver with love and a smile.
You become a monitor for their well-being,
And it makes you feel good all the while.
So, give it a’ try- you might like it-
That feeling of doing some good.
We’re desperately seeking now faces,
and arms to hug our neighborhoods.
Thank you for reading our rhyming plea.
Call Caroline Clark very soon,
At 871-9027
And please help us get back in tune.
