Seniors in need are receiving meals from Meals on Wheels this Christmas Day

Seniors in need are getting a holiday treat this Christmas Day: A visit from volunteers with Meals on Wheels who are dropping off pre-packaged meals.

Each person is given a meal that included dessert and a gift. All of the gifts were donated by members of the community.

The organization always looks forward to the deliveries.

"It is very important because there are people who have no one to come by and say ‘Merry Christmas,’ Meals on Wheels Home Delivered Meals Coordinator Rubie Pettway said. "No one to come by and visit and that will receive no gifts or meals other than the ones that we will deliver today. Some of the volunteers actually sing carols to them. So, they’ll be very excited."
