Senior Resources put Mike Ross to work this
week delivering lunch to senior citizens in the Blythewood
area. The
Meals On Wheels program provides lunch each day to
homes in the area, making sure our seniors get a healthy
meal. This week they got an extra special treat because it's
not every day the Mayor comes a calling to serve your noontime meal. Why
not join the Mayor with helping out with Meals on Wheels.
Just contact Annie Eveleigh at 803.252.7734, Ext. 256.
