Every Thursday we offer ideas for giving back in the community. For this week’s Give Back Thursday, we suggest Notes for Meals on Wheels! Read on for all of the details!
Meals on Wheels is a group that provides cost-effective meals to elderly and those in need of assistance in our community. Clients include those who may no longer be able to prepare meals for themselves. This program enables many to remain in their homes with access to healthy, prepared meals. Many of their clients may not be able to get out and about on their own. Visits from volunteers bringing their meals are something most look forward to.
For this week’s Give Back Thursday, we suggest Notes for Meals on Wheels. Take some time to write notes of encouragement and cheer that the Meals on Wheels volunteers can deliver to their clients with the food deliveries. These notes will uplift clients and brighten their day. Many may be feeling a sense of isolation and loneliness with the current pandemic. Can you bring a ray of sunshine and hope into their day? We think so!
Notes could include positive quotes, poetry, or even drawings. Getting children involved in making colorful drawings is certain to brighten anyone’s day! This project would not have to be time consuming for you, but could truly make the difference in someone’s life. To feel remembered, encouraged and cheered is something of true value. You probably will not know the recipient, but they will feel cared about. What a true gift! This is also a great opportunity to teach children about simple acts of kindness towards others.
