On March 20, 2019, the Osceola Council on Aging invited community leaders to come together to help celebrate Community Champions Week. Some of the community leaders volunteered their time to deliver meals through the Meals on Wheels program to our homebound seniors and others stayed to party with some of the Osceola Council on Aging’s dining club participants.
“The Meals on Wheel champaign is important because we really wanted to create awareness of the problem that we have amongst the community of the seniors going hungry every day. When the community leaders are able to participant it really makes this problem official, they’re able to see the impact they are making on our seniors when the meals are delivered.”
– Wilda Belisle, Nutrition Director for the Osceola Council on Aging
