Hundreds of volunteers got meals ready and delivered them for homebound seniors on Thanksgiving.
Due to the stormy weather, they had to make some adjustments to the very well-organized system they have in place to get the holiday meals delivered.
"We deliver so much more than a hot meal which is important. We deliver that social nutrition, a friendly face, and especially today, someone to be with someone who may not have anybody else to visit with them on Thanksgiving Day," said Jennifer Austin, with the Visiting Nurse Association. "It's positive. I mean, just thinking of the outcome," volunteer Carson Mastrogiovanni said. "It's a positive atmosphere and I really enjoy it."
