Directors Message 

    Just a heads up. The pandemic is not over. It has become manageable and will be more so as individuals become vaccinated. Those who wish not to be vaccinated, please wear those masks, social distance, and practice great hygiene. We need better than 80% vaccinated for all of us to truly become safe.

    I am so looking forward to seeing everyone, but only when it is extra safe to do so. In the interim, we will continue our drive–thru.

    How about the heat! Wow. Remember to hydrate. It is so very important to drink plenty of water. If you truly despise the taste of water, add lemon or use the flavored drinks sold in stores. Set a full glass of water next to your favorite spot and sip away.

    Try setting your cooler’s dial at 78 to conserve energy. The library, the casino, and restaurants have coolers. You can drop in and enjoy theirs. The Family Support Center located at 21389 Stewart Street is acting as a cooling center from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Call 987-9601 for more information.

    We have additional home-bound seniors. We do have a need for more Meals on Wheels drivers. It only takes about two hours a shift. You can sign up for one or more shifts. The Cobb Mountain shifts are Tuesdays and Thursdays only. The Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake shifts are Monday thru Friday. To become a substitute is also a possibility.

    Meals on Wheels makes such a big difference in seniors’ lives. It affords them the option of remaining in their homes. Many seniors are forced to move to a care facility simply because they are unable to cook or shop for themselves. Meals on Wheels fills that void. For just the cost of a couple of hours weekly, you are able to make a difference in other’s lives. Become a part of a miraculous group.
