I work in a central kitchen for Meals on Wheels and we provide anywhere from 400 to 600 meals a day for our county. There are only 4 of us that make the food and one person is in charge of dessert and only works 16 hours a week.

We start our day at 4:30 and the meals go out at 10. We rely on volunteers for help serving and delivery. I think our volunteer count was around 200 last I heard. Most of them are retired or people taking time during their lunch break to deliver 10 to 12 meals for their route. All the food is made from scratch and we run our operation our of an old nursing home kitchen. Our equipment is old and a little run down but we make it work.

I drove a route once every month for 5 yrs. It’s amazing how attached you get to your people. I had to stop when I made a job change but still think of those lovely ppl often, and truly admire what YOU are doing to make sure ppl who need it get food.
