October 15, 2023 a small group met at the Wrangell SDA Church. It was time for the monthly distribution of food boxes for seniors. This program has been in place for a number of years and provides supplemental groceries to seniors. The boxes typically come with dry goods like pasta and cereal, as well as canned goods. The seniors also have an option to get a block of cheese.
On this particular Sunday, three volunteers stayed at the church to help hand out and carry boxes for those who picked up their food. Two cars with volunteers took a load of boxes to make deliveries. The cars went all over town. At each stop volunteers not only dropped off boxes but would spend a little time talking with the recipient.
One senior said, "I am really thankful for the help. It stretches my food money." If you know someone who is, 60 + and low income, and they are interested in getting on this program leave us a message at 907-874-3039.
