Many of our recipients would not be able to
stay in their homes without the generosity
of our supporters. When you donate to or
volunteer with Lubbock Meals on Wheels,
you can immediately see the positive
difference you make. All of your support
stays local and benefits our community.
Our volunteers are not only our eyes, ears,
and wheels; they are our strength. Our
donors and volunteers live out the words
of some of the greatest minds in history.
They represent how one person can make
a difference every day. #LocallyStrong

people up.”
~John Holmes
National Volunteer Appreciation Week is
April 10-16 this year. Lubbock Meals on
Wheels will show our appreciation for our
many volunteers at the Annual Volunteer
Appreciation Reception. This year’s theme
is Asian, and will be held at 6:00p.m. Friday,
April 22nd, at Indiana Avenue Baptist
Church, 9507 Indiana Avenue. We will
serve a light meal and dessert, provide live
music, have a few surprises, and award many
for their years of service.
FACT: According to IRS data, people in
the lower and middle income brackets dig
deep. In fact, the research found that the less
someone earns, the more likely they are to
give money to help others.
Happy Birthday…to US!
Lubbock Meals on Wheels turns
45 years old in April, 2016!
In March of 2016 Lubbock Meals
on Wheels served an average of
717 meals each weekday and an
average 183 weekend meals.
That’s 54 routes a day! Currently
our youngest recipient is 20 years
old, and our oldest recipient is 106
years old.
“When I stand before
God at the end of my life,
I would have hope that I
would not have a single bit
of talent left, and I could
say, ‘I used everything you
gave me’”. ~Erma Bombeck
In the past year, we have lost several of our
precious volunteers. May special memories
comfort all of their families and friends, and
may their loved ones find peace very soon.

Thanks to LMOW’s Corporate Delivery Volunteers
One way that Lubbock Meals on Wheels is able to ensure meal delivery to so many people is
through our Corporate Volunteer Program. LMOW currently has 36 corporate volunteers and
8 group volunteers. These are organizations that commit to deliver meals one or more days each
month. Some of the groups have just one volunteer, others rotate through various people in their
organization. Call 806-792-7971 to get your business/organization signed up!

FACT: The 2011 Deloitte Volunteer IMPACT survey found that over 50% of Millennial
employees that volunteer through their company are very loyal toward their company, proud to
work there, satisfied with their employer, and likely to recommend their company to a friend.
And Millennial employees who participate in a company’s volunteer program are more than twice
as likely to rate their work culture as “very positive,” as compared to those who don’t volunteer.
We have
‘GROUND BREAKING’
news!
Thanks to a very generous contribution from the J.T.
and Margaret Talkington Charitable Foundation,
we are expanding our facility which will enable us
to serve more people over time. Please come to our
official Ground Breaking Ceremony on May 5th at
2:30pm. Our office is at 2304 34th Street.
letters from
the heart
a note from the Executive Director, Lisa Gilliland
“Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” – Author unknown
Volunteers are truly a special type of people. They often think of others before themselves. They
feel the need to help those less fortunate and make their communities a better place to live.
These characteristics are definitely true regarding the Lubbock Meals on Wheels volunteers.
They often face many challenges in their volunteer duties – be it a hard to find address, road
construction, horrible weather conditions, extra items to deliver, changes to their route, or the
loss of their favorite client. Somehow they not only manage, but manage with a smile on their face, a positive attitude,
and unwavering dedication to the mission. They face many obstacles delivering meals, and soon they will be facing
one just getting into our office. Construction for our facility expansion and renovation is gearing up. Soon our already
cramped parking lot will be filled with bulldozers, backhoes, and various building materials – enough to frustrate even
the most patient of volunteers. In preparation for this challenge, we have staggered the meal pick up times in hopes
of relieving some of the congestion in the lot and office. As always, our volunteers have stepped up and cooperated
with the changes. Our volunteers, along with our staff and board members, realize that although the construction
will complicate our procedures and create difficulties along the way; the outcome will allow us to serve more people
making all the hassle worthwhile in the end. We are all very excited about this dream becoming a reality. We thank
all of our volunteers in advance for the upcoming challenges we will face. We know with the support and patience of
our dedicated volunteers, we will all get through it together and end up with a facility that can serve our homebound,
elderly, and disabled community well into the future. We plan to keep everyone posted on our progress so sit back and
watch us grow!
Thanks to the Lubbock Lions Club, LCU Social Work Department, and Friends of the Wolfforth Library for
their generous support. We appreciate the many caring donations we receive each month. Due to space limitations, we
are not able to list all of them.
(Just a few of the notes
from our recipients)
“I want to thank you for all the extra
gifts and food I received during the
holidays, especially the cards for my
birthday (97th one).”
Sincerely, E.N.
“The meals are delicious and I
appreciate them so much. God bless
the ones who prepare the meals and
the nice people that deliver them.”
Sincerely, H.L.
“I enjoy my meals & friendly people.
Thank you, D.H.
“Will you please let your volunteers
know that I highly appreciate them for
taking time out of their days to bring
me my lunch. C.L.

Those of you that know us at Lubbock Meals on Wheels know that
we are obsessed with our 4-legged friends. If you are anything
like we are, you can’t imagine having to decide whether or not
you can care for your pet. LMOW has a Pet Program to try to
make sure that our recipients are able to care for their furry
friends and keep them at home with them. Currently 86 cats
and 132 dogs benefit from the Pet Program. Dry dog and cat
food is sent out to these four-legged companions every other
week (over 1,400 pounds per month currently). Occasionally
we help with vaccines and minor medical issues as well. We
appreciate all of the donations that support this very special
program.
A big thanks to the following for their help with this program

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!
Lubbock Meals on Wheels’ Mardi Gras 2016 on March 1st was super great, thanks to the
hard work of many staff and volunteers! This year we raised over $95,000 (topping last year’s
proceeds). It was an election night and our attendance was down slightly from last year with
over 1,200 participants. Thirty-eight restaurants featured their food along with live music,
a variety of entertainment, a large silent auction, the children’s area, a Mardi Gras themed ice
sculpture, and the very cool Kristin + Camera Photo Booth. The Mardi Gras King and Queen
(Ron Roberts and Rachel Spangenthal) reigned over the event in full Mardi Gras regalia. Next
year’s LMOW Mardi Gras will be held at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center on February
28th, 2017, the same date as the true Fat Tuesday. SAVE THE DATE NOW!!! Sincere thanks to

Do you have any kids and/or pets? Charles and I have two sons,

Who do you find inspirational? It would have to be my husband,
Charles, who is so patient, kind, gentle, and loving.
You are a new addition to a crayon box. What color are you and
why? I would be a “rainbow” crayon because of all that rainbows
represent.
What can you simply not resist? I just can’t resist glazed donuts.
Which super power would you like to have and why? I would like

and minerals and healthy fat.
One of the mineral components
is zinc, which is important in
producing testosterone in both
males and females. Pecan trees
only produce nuts every two
years. So get nutty and stock up
now at Lubbock Meals on Wheels!
$9.00/pound for locally grown
halves and pieces all year around!

Quiche... It’s what’s for... Mother’s Day
LMOW has an answer to that age old question, “What’s for
dinner?” Monday – Friday from 8:00am – 4:30pm you can
come by our office and pick up a house made quiche for your
evening meal. It goes straight from the freezer to the oven.
We have seven varieties to choose from: Green Chili Chicken

Italian Sausage, Spinach & Bacon, Spinach & Mushroom
(vegetarian), and Mexicana (vegetarian). Quiches are $14.50

you buy 10 and get one free!
