April is National Volunteer Month and volunteer drivers for the Meals on Wheels program in Montgomery were celebrated on Friday, April 25, at Park Manor in Montgomery. They gathered for a meal complete with a Caesar salad, fruit and pizza, from Pizzeria 201, and beverages, cookies and snacks provided by Lutheran Social Services.
Site Coordinator Mary Ross presented each driver with a certificate of appreciation. “Without our amazing volunteer drivers, we wouldn’t be able to deliver meals to seniors in need,” said Ross. “We make and package meals, and they provide the smiles and the wheels!”
Troy and Diane Domine at Pizzeria 201 donated a $10 gift card to each driver and provided a discount on the supplied food.
