Greetings from the Director - David Smolen
Our Meals on Wheels (MOW) service is a vital lifeline for those who are homebound and unable to make meals for themselves. Being a MOW driver is a great way to serve your community. Recently, I made two MOW runs and it felt great to place meals into the hands of people who really need it. I was very careful making sure our participants received the correct meal, as they all have different dietary needs. I chatted with some of our participants as I was delivering the meal, and I could tell they enjoyed that. It felt good to know I was making a difference in the lives of our participants. MOW delivers frozen meals, in addition to fresh, for the weekend. I was surprised to learn that we even deliver the local newspaper.
Drivers develop meaningful relationships with their recipients, and they can become a vital link to the outside world. MOW drivers can receive mileage reimbursement for their work and are not expected to operate in hazardous conditions. Gibson serves the Towns of Conway, Madison, Bartlett, Albany, Eaton, Jackson, and Chatham.
We are always in need of backup drivers at the minimum. If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, being a MOW driver is a great one! For more information contact us at 603-356-3231 to learn more.
