With thousands of North Texans without power after Tuesday morning’s storms, the Collin County Meals on Wheels is taking extra care to make sure people who can't easily get to the centers are okay. Deron Boyer with the non-profit is one of 1,900 people hitting the streets to check on the most vulnerable. "With storm damage, 95% of our clients are 60, and above 97% live below the poverty level. They are already struggling," he said.
The fire department let Meals on Wheels know they would need to deliver extra meals to people who lost all the food in their refrigerators. Zella Tyson, CEO of Collin County Meals on Wheels, says in addition to delivering meals, volunteers will also be making sure seniors aren't getting too hot. It’s an important check since their phones may not work, leaving them unable to call anyone for help.
