Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County is asking for help, saying they are desperately in need of people to help deliver meals.
Meals On Wheels said Friday that over the last several weeks they have seen a steady increase in the number of clients requesting meals in Fort Worth's Eastside and in the Handley-Woodhaven area.
They're asking anyone that lives in those neighborhoods, or nearby, to apply as a volunteer.
“Volunteers are the backbone of what we do,” said Carla Jutson, President & CEO. “Not only do they deliver nutritious meals and friendly smiles, but they also provide daily safety checks, ensuring that our clients are safe in this heat. Their service is more important now than ever!”
