One of our Women’s Club members, Robbie terKuile, is initiating a Polk Dems service project to deliver meals to homebound elderly residents who cannot prepare nutritious food regularly. This would be done in support of the “Meals on Wheels” Polk Senior Services Program. Drivers are needed to assure The Meeting Place- Polk County Senior Center can fulfill their mission of delivering around 150 meals 5 days each week. Some days there are not enough drivers and some folks do not receive a meal. Our participation would greatly assist the elderly in our community during these challenging Covid times and provide us an opportunity to live our values.
Robbie is proposing that Polk Democrats deliver meals to a Columbus route on Wednesdays and challenge other groups to do the same. She would coordinate the schedule. Drivers pick up the meals at The Meeting Place (75 Carmel Lane, Columbus) between 10 and 10:30 am; drop off the boxes containing the meals on a set route; and return the boxes to The Meeting Place. The time commitment is about 1.5 hours.
