Our ministry partner Meals on Wheels continues safely delivering meals to homebound community members throughout the pandemic , and this Monday they’ll deliver an additional provision: a Blizzard Bag! Each reusable tote contains shelf-stable foods that will tide recipients over of a snowy emergency, items like cereal, oatmeal, fruit, tuna, hummus, pretzel sticks, cheese sticks, mixed vegetables, juice, and mac & cheese. This follows the distribution a few weeks ago of Covid bags, containing hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, toilet paper, paper towels, and other coveted cleaning needs.
EMC member support helps fund our Meals on Wheels affiliate, member Laurie Cory has served on the organization’s board, and several days each month our church community has responsibility to deliver the meals. Distribution happens from United Methodist Church of Peace in Richfield, and takes about 1-2 hours per “route”, and each volunteer takes one route for their shift. If you’d like to join the Meals on Wheels driving team, please contact the church office or reach out directly to EMC’s driving coordinator, Rev. Molly Cox.
