Big wheels hit the streets to feed clients
5:24 p.m. Thursday, October 2, 2008
Topekans who rely on Meals on Wheels got a special treat today.
KTKA General Manager Kathy Mohn hit the streets today to deliver meals to needy citizens.
It's part of the organization's "Big Wheels Delivering Meals" program.
The goal is to let those who help pay for Meals on Wheels experience what the organization is about.
Alongside a volunteer, Kathy delivered about ten meals.
She also got to spend some time with each person, which is an important part of the process.
"The fact that it's really a safety check on those clients we deliver the meals to, the fact the clients really appreciate seeing somebody. It may be the only person they see today," Meals on Wheels CEO Jane Metzger said.
The mayor also delivered meals today.
Meals on Wheels delivers more than 700 meals each day.
