Volunteers sought

KILLINGLY — In an effort to increase the number of days per week Meals on Wheels delivers throughout northeast Connecticut, TVCCA’s RSVP program will host a volunteer recruitment drive from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. June 16 at the Killingly Community Center.  

The Meals on Wheels program currently delivers a combination of fresh-cooked and frozen meals twice each week.  By adding more drivers, fresh-cooked meal delivery can be expanded and seniors will be visited more often, said Jennifer Johnson, Volunteer Program director. 

“Serving as a volunteer driver takes less of a commitment than people might imagine,” Johnson said.  “Many of our routes in this area are only about an hour and a half long.”  In northeastern Connecticut MOW currently delivers to senior meal sites and residences in Brooklyn, Canterbury, Eastford, Killingly, Plainfield, Pomfret, Putnam, Thompson, Union and Woodstock.
