Helping our area homebound seniors during the holidays
A Meals on Wheels Christmas is a time to pay special attention to the needs of our older neighbors and do a little something special for them. TGB Group has worked for years with local service agency Meals on Wheels Montgomery County (Texas) to make life a little easier for homebound seniors. The organization provides meals as well as transportation and other important services.
At the moment, we’re busy helping with the Meals on Wheels Christmas effort. We’ve been buying a lot of gifts and helping to assemble packages that will be given to those whom Meals on Wheels serves. It doesn’t take a lot, really, but the rewards are great.
Items we’ve been getting together include hot chocolate packets and mugs; shampoo and conditioner; stationery, pens and stamps; puzzles; notepads; and other goodies that will be part of some very special gift bags.
What a Meals on Wheels Christmas really means
Many seniors in our area don’t have access to the resources we tend to take for granted. Meals are one of these resources as some who are up in age no longer can cook and manage their daily meals.
Meals on Wheels fills the gap by ensuring that local homebound seniors are able to get the nutrition they need on a daily basis. The organization relies on a long list of volunteers, which we’re proud to say includes The TGB Group.
Home-delivered food and transportation to stores and doctor appointments are services that are important any time of year. They’re especially important during the holidays. A Meals on Wheels Christmas means some of our neighbors who might be in need will have those needs fulfilled at a time of year that’s all about giving and caring.
