After Covid, Haywood Meals on Wheels lost volunteers and was forced to drop meal deliveries to three days per week. The goal is to return to a five-day delivery schedule.
The program requires just a couple hours one day per week from each volunteer. An individual could also coordinate a group of friends, family or coworkers for rotation of a route. There is also a need for substitute drivers for most routes to give regular volunteers time for vacations or appointments.
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Cheryl McCracken at 828.356.2442 or Cheryl.McCracken@haywoodcountync.gov. To donate, visit mowhaywoodnc.org or mail a donation to Haywood County Health and Human Services, 157 Paragon Pkwy, Suite 300, Clyde, NC 28721.
