Five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year (minus holidays and snow days) a group of six people – Krystyna Marcom, Kathy August, Lynette Johnson, Kris Tyson, Dave and Lil DeCoste – deliver Meals on Wheels to 8-12 Senior shut-ins.  Meals are picked up at the Bellows Falls Senior Center and dropped off in North Walpole and Walpole.

It takes about and hour and a half but it is in the middle of the day so those with a 9-5 job really are excluded from the commitment.  That is definitely a problem to finding enough people to share the job.

On the plus side, it is is rewarding to visit with these very appreciative people each week.  They are as glad to see you as you are to see them.  There is no question but that you are giving a valuable service to your community.  After all, if it wasn’t rewarding would Dave and I have done this for over three years or Krystyna for more than twenty?

If you are looking for a way to give back to our wonderful community or simply have a couple of hours a week to do something special, please call Krystyna at 756-4509 and she will fill you in on just how you can help. – Lil
