The Vero Beach Police Department is one the first organizations to deliver hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors through the new ‘Adopt-a-Route’ program for Senior Resource Association’s Meals on Wheels.
“Adopting a Meals on Wheels route proved to be very rewarding,” shared Vero Beach Police Department’s Chief of Police, David Currey. “Lieutenant Matt Monaco and I delivered meals to twelve homes in Vero Beach and each and every person we met was very appreciative and happy to see us. It is certainly better to give than receive. We will continue this partnership with the Senior Resource Association on a monthly basis.”
The ‘Adopt-a-Route’ program was created to provide an excellent way for companies, civic and faith-based organizations to engage in community service. Groups offer their employees or member volunteers time to deliver mid-day meals for one to two hours on an assigned day of the week.
