"The Meal on Wheels movement starts with YOU"

Food and community are both important aspects of any gathering at Immanuel, so bringing food to those who need it comes naturally. A hot meal, a loving greeting, and a reassuring check-in all fit into Immanuel's ministry as part of its Meals on Wheels program.

Immanuel plays a role in New Castle's Meals on Wheels program every five to six weeks when volunteers pick up meals and distribute them to elderly people who are unable to leave their homes. Volunteers work in pairs, with one driving and the other delivering a hot lunch and a bag supper for later. Often their visits are eagerly awaited and they are sure to take a moment to speak a few kind words and make sure that everything looks OK. If for some reason it doesn't, the volunteers see to it that the appropriate people are contacted.

Would you like to help out? Both substitutes and regularly scheduled volunteers are needed. The commitment is about two-and-a-half hours every 5 to 6 weeks; meals are delivered at lunchtime.

If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer, please speak to Camille Foster or contact the parish office.
