Loaves & Fishes Centers, The Meals-On-Wheels People is seeking volunteer drivers to ensure homebound seniors receive nutritious meals and a bit of companionship this Labor Day weekend.
“These volunteers are invaluable because they not only help us feed our frail elderly, but they make sure these seniors see a friendly face every day,” said Caroline Henry, who manages Loaves & Fishes Centers’ Weekend and Holiday meal program. “Sometimes the Meals-On-Wheels driver is the only persons these homebound seniors see in a given day. Holiday volunteers also help fill routes left by our regular drivers who vacation for the Labor Day weekend.”
Meals-On-Wheels routes are available on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Aug. 30 and 31 and Sept. 1. For more information about how you can help, call Caroline Henry or Bruce Nissen at 503.953.8123.
Since 1970 Loaves & Fishes Centers has provided a nutritional and social lifeline for seniors through 35 meal sites in Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties and Meals-On-Wheels delivery to homebound seniors. With the help of more than 7,500 volunteers, the nonprofit, nonsectarian agency now serves 5,000 meals daily and more than 1.4 million meals each year. Loaves & Fishes Centers was named one of the “Ten Most Admired Companies” in Oregon in the non profit category by The Portland Business Journal in 2006.
