KELLY JOINS
MEALS-ON-WHEELS AS PART OF NATIONAL RECOGNITION DAY
On Tuesday, April 1st,
Bridgeton Mayor Albert B. Kelly, along with program staff and assorted volunteers,
packed more than 90 meals for older adults for the local Meals-on-Wheels
program.
The April 1st visit was
part of the “Mayor’s Day of Recognition for National Service”, an initiative
led by the Corporation for National and Community Service meant to spotlight
the impact of such volunteer community service nationwide.
In addition to preparing
meals Tuesday, Mayor Kelly used the opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversation
with participating seniors at the Jean Rugenus Community Room to discuss
specific senior needs throughout the Greater Bridgeton Area.
“A special day of
recognition gives us a unique opportunity to spotlight the role that national
service plays in solving our challenges locally; the day really emphasizes the
impact of citizen service in our community and its value can’t be overstated,”
Kelly said.
Meals-on-Wheels is a
program set-up to deliver hot meals to homebound individuals who can’t prepare
meals for themselves and in Cumberland County, the program packs and serves
meals for more than 220 individuals each day.
