On May 28, 2015, Meals on Wheels Plus hosted our 40th Anniversary with a celebration at the Abilene Civic Center. We started planning this event over a year ago, and were excited that Dr. Ben Carson agreed to come to Abilene and be our keynote speaker. Hearing him tell the story of his life in his presentation, “Gifted Hands,” was very moving. You could hear a pin drop. Thank you Doug Williamson, for serving as Master of Ceremonies, and to Scott Dueser, for serving as Honorary Chairman. You are both a “class act.” A special thank you goes to Wayne McCormick and KTXS-TV for producing a video that managed to capture 40 years of history in a mere seven minutes.

Meals on Wheels Plus is short some 20 to 30 drivers every delivery day. During the summer months, we are especially short of volunteers, because the university student deliverers are out of town for the summer. If you have never delivered meals, it is easy and very rewarding. It only takes an hour, one day a week. If you are a current or previous volunteer driver, we need your help. Can you deliver an additional route or re-enroll as a driver? Meals on Wheels Plus, Inc. does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, financial status, race, national origin, sex, creed, disability, religion or political belief. Special emphasis is given to homebound seniors and/or adults with a disability. Meals on Wheels Plus, Inc. receives partial funding from the Texas Department of Aging & Disability Services. Meals on Wheels Plus is classified as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization by the IRS. All contributions are tax deductible. If you are worried about being tied down so you can’t enjoy your own summer plans, or worried that you can’t always get off work, consider being a “SUBSTITUTE DRIVER”. Each day, we use substitute drivers to fill open routes. You can call us on the days you are available to deliver, and our Volunteer Coordinators will assign you a route, or we can call you as routes become open to see if you are available. The benefits of being a volunteer are immeasurable. We can assure you that someone you deliver lunch to will touch, and enrich your life. Many volunteers tell about clients with whom they have developed a special friendship. The need is critical. Please call us today at 672-5050 for more information.
