Thanksgiving Day-Meals On Wheels

Denise Fatigate and her family have participated in this wonderful community service for several years now. Denise has asked if any of the troop families would be interested in participating. It's a wonderful opportunity to bring joy and warmth to those in need on a day when we should all give thanks for what we have. And to share our joy with seniors who are likely spending this holiday alone.

What's involved? You would drive to the Meals on Wheel pick-up location and receive your assignments. Each distribution group/family will be assigned no more than 10 people that will require delivered meals. Some of these people will reside at the same address -- so 10 people doesn't necessarily mean 10 delivery stops. All of your deliveries will be grouped in the same geographic area. All deliveries are in Broward County. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours...

If you and your family would like to participate, here are all of the details:

DEADLINE FOR VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION: Monday, November 17th
MEAL Pick-Up Time: 10am, Thanksgiving Day (at 1750 W. McNab Road, Pompano Beach)

Please let me know if you'll be volunteering for this great opportunity. If so, we'll need to know how many vehicles you'll be driving, as well has how many people will volunteer.
Denise will coordinate registration for our group with the Meals on Wheels program upon receipt of your responses.

PLEASE NOTE: Anyone who is interested in having their daughter participate, but cannot get away to do the driving, please let me know. Denise has offered to take additional children with her for this event. I should also have additional room in my vehicle for a few extra bodies. :)

Additionally, this will also count towards service hours for the girls' Bronze Award.
