Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches recently recognized the dedication of its outstanding volunteers with a Volunteer Appreciation Brunch. 

“Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization,” said Director of Volunteer Services Debbie Emerick. “They truly are the wheels beneath our meals.”

Thanks to more than 100 volunteers, Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches makes close to 500 home visits a week, providing clients with nutritious, freshly prepared noontime meals as well as companionship.

During the volunteer appreciation brunch, Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches honored four of its senior volunteers – Ernie Pate, Ruth Windle, Fran Sauer and Tom Marx – for their outstanding service. 

Volunteers are still needed to assist with meal preparation and deliveries. To find out how you can volunteer or support the organization, call 561-802-6979 or visit MOWPB.org
