Terri Kraft, part of a Meals on Wheels of Greater St. Louis team of volunteers in South County, sealed a hot tray of food at St. Anthony’s Medial Center, where the meals are prepared. Kraft is a member of Mary Mother of the Church Parish. Additional volunteers are welcome.

Recently retired, with extra time on your hands and an urge to help others? Meals on Wheels may be just what you're looking for. The oldest and largest national organization of its kind, the Meals on Wheels Association of America provides more than a million meals a day nationwide to senior citizens and others who have temporary or permanent mobility limitations. The organization is spread across all 50 states, manned by volunteers who pack and deliver nutritious meals to their neighbors in need or serve them at senior centers and other accessible locations.
