Volunteer: Organize Holiday Gifts for Homebound SeniorsWhile the holidays are considered a time to come together, many homebound and socially isolated older adults are unable to gather with loved ones to celebrate the season. Each year, Mobile Meals volunteers dedicate their Christmas morning to delivering nutritious meals and warm holiday greetings to homebound seniors across Knox County. In addition to a meal, each senior receives a holiday gift bag generously donated by you and other friends in the community. For many, this may be their only visitor that day. We are recruiting volunteer groups to help organize donated gifts between Dec 16-19. If you have a group interested in volunteering, reach out to sara.keel@cacnutrition.org. Tasks will vary from day to day. Please reach out for more information!
