Our Why
It all begins with an idea.
Dear Friends, I address you all as “friends”. Friends are chosen family. I really, really appreciate the kindness and love of what’s fast becoming my chosen family - all of you - at Marion Senior Services.
I have been receiving Meals on Wheels for over a year. I would have written this note of gratitude a long time ago, were it not for the fact that you’ve given me so many reasons to be grateful. I’m having to do the impossible by limiting this to a (long) note by listing what my relationship with you means:
Smiling faces who come to my door 5 times a week, carrying food to nourish my body. It’s the smiles and genuine care of the volunteers who faithfully deliver in rain or sunshine. This adds the flavor of a beautiful dining experience.
From the people who prepare the food, those who dispatch it, the volunteers, those who answer the phones, drivers, maintenance staff, supervisors, the individuals and organizations who pay the bills, and employees. Of all these wonderful people, I have yet to meet someone who was not willing to give - to little old me, and equally grateful (if he could speak), my 12-pound Yorkie, Prince.
With the usual frailties of the aging process, the help of Marion Senior Services provides a God-saving blessing, as far as I’m concerned. The meals I don’t have to cook or plan or clean up after saves me a hefty chunk of time and effort.
God bless you all for the work you do, which I know comes from loving caring hearts. Thank you!
With Love, From both me and Prince.
