Monday was my last day volunteering at West Loch Elderly Village’s Lanakila Meals on Wheels Grab and Go. I’ve been with this particular temporary program for the last 2 years since covid started and now it has ended. The purpose of distributing the free meals was so that elderly folks could avoid trips to the market and reduce exposure to covid germs.
Even Ben, our 2 younger sons and some of my friends also volunteered with me occasionally, when they had time. My friend and a staff member, A., is moving to Colorado next month to live with her daughter’s family. By now, I know most of the clients by name and have heard many of their stories. It will be different not seeing them every week but hopefully I’ll still see them around.
