Firestone Mayor Bobbi Sindelar and the Board of Trustees presented Meals on Wheels THE MAYORS AWARD for their many acts of kindness during these trying times.
All volunteers are exempted from state and local shelter in place orders under Policy Directive 21 and the Department of Homeland Security emergency readiness program.
The volunteers deliver hot meals and other food items 5 days a week to homebound people of all ages. While in this time of need they did not bunker in but added more clients and expanded their services to include Mead, Ft Lupton, Lochbuie, Kersey, and Wattenberg. This great team of volunteers has a positive impact on the people they serve. They go above and beyond to help the community by delivering 100s of meals a week with a very important social contact, health, and safety check on all their clients. That effort alone promotes the quality of life for those who would not otherwise receive those basic needs.
Having Holly and her team of volunteers recognized in the Mayors Award Program was an honor for Meals on Wheels and the homebound people they serve.
A special thank you to Safeway of Firestone and to Starbucks of Firestone thru their Food Donation Connection Program for their donations of food and other items. What they do goes a long way to help the homebound people, their strong support does not go unnoticed.
