Meals on Wheels of Warwick hosted its volunteer luncheon on September 19 at the Warwick Reformed Church. It was the first time the luncheon was held since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The luncheon is held to recognize and show appreciation for the 124 volunteers who pack and deliver meals across the community. Recognition pins were given to volunteers who have contributed five, 10, 15 and 30 years of service.
The volunteers make a big impact in the clients’ lives, according to Evelyn Schroeder, chairperson of the program.
The luncheon was made possible in part to donations by ShopRite, Price Chopper, Larry’s Deli, John Hogan, Caroline Riley, and Corwin’s Florist.
