Many local and state representatives, business leaders and dignitaries will participate in Elder Care Services' Big Wheels Deliver Meals on Tuesday, March 26th, 10:00 a.m.
Big Wheels Deliver Meals gives local celebrities the opportunity to provide seniors the most basic necessity - a hot nutritious meal, along with a safety check and a friendly, always welcomed visit. It's a taste of what volunteers and Elder Care Services have been doing for 41 years through the Meals on Wheels program.
This year, Big Wheels Deliver Meals is presented by KIA Autosport where General Manager Melanie Lee will join Mayor John Marks in these special deliveries along with Secretary Chuck Corley, Department of Elder Affairs, Leon County Commissioners Bryan Desloge, John Dailey, Jane Sauls and Nick Maddox, City Commissioners Gil Ziffer, Scott Maddox and City Manager, Anita Favors Thompson, Sheriff Larry Campbell, WTXL ABC 27 Anchor Abbey Maurer, Julie Moreno, Benson Green, Elder Care Services' Board of Directors and more.
Since 1972, over 620 volunteers deliver Meals on Wheels five days a week to over 350 home-bound seniors. 30 daily routes and 29 weekly frozen meal routes cover all areas of Leon County. The Meals on Wheels program fills the most basic need for food, providing lunch five days a week, delivered by caring volunteers who also provide a safety check. This year, Elder Care Services will deliver its four millionth meal.
Elder Care Services is located at 2518 West Tennessee Street. For more information about Elder Care Services, or to volunteer with Meals on Wheels, visit www.ecsbigbend.org or call (850) 921-5554.
