I work for Meals on Wheels because the older adults within our communities are some of the most vulnerable among us and need the help and resources of the community. The number one reason I work for Meals on Wheels is that older adults are most often a forgotten demographic within the community, and it is going to take younger generations to step up and help this community thrive and lead productive and meaningful lives into their aging years. Let us not forget that we will not be young forever and one day will be in their shoes! I can only hope that I have the help and resources of the community at that point in my life.
My favorite part of my job is that I wake up every day and help others who may not be able to get food get the food and help they need.
Fun fact about me: I am originally from a very small town in Indiana and my graduating class consisted of 62 people.
