SNOW AND ICE HAVE MADE IT
DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US
TO GET AROUND THE PAST
COUPLE DAYS.
AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE
DELIVERING NUTRITIOUS
MEALS FOR OUR SENIORS IN
NEED?
LUCKILY, OUR LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE A PLAN
IN PLACE - AND WE GOT A
FIRST-HAND LOOK
AT HOW.

97-YEAR-OLD MISS ROSINA
ARMFIELD SAYS
THE MEAL SHE GOT LAST
WEEK HELPED HER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.
<C0006 4:04 I DON'T COOK
SO THAT'S A BIG HELP>
AND IT'S NOT JUST FOOD,
IT'S FRIENDSHIP. <C0014
16:22 I LOOK FORWARD TO
THEM
BETWEEN 11 AND 12 TO COME
TO THAT DOOR> FOR SOME,
IT'S THE ONLY
CONVERSATION
THEY MAY HAVE ALL DAY
LONG. JUST LIKE THE
SAYING - CONVERSATION IS
FOOD
FOR THE SOUL - AND A HOT
MEAL DOESN'T HURT EITHER.
<C0014 17:40 WHEN YOU'RE
SPIRITS ARE DOWN BECAUSE
YOUR ILLNESSES AND YOU
CAN'T GET OUT AND DO THE
THINGS YOU WANT TO DO -
GOD SENDS SOMEBODY TO
HELP
YOU> AND TODAY THAT
SOMEBODY WAS THIS

ARE VOLUNTEERS.
