For those of us without family - Who will take care of you ?

This is a wonderful idea - and it does the necessary work to get the needs met!

I've been doing Meals on Wheels every 2 weeks, as we're scheduled, and though it isn't much time, it is the least I can do, the folks who receive the hot meals and dessert/fruit are kind and appreciative, and it addresses a need. I'd like to do more! Maybe I'll look into the church out of which our Meals on Wheels is sponsored and see if they have anything like this.

I hope all is well with you.

Hi Brandysparks,
If you find your church group does not having anything like Helping Hands, you might suggest that such a group be formed. Our church office solicited a person to be the contact point. The emails that we send in requesting help go to Helping Hands@ our church's email address. Those emails go directly to the Contact Person, but they are separate from her private email. They are then sorted by the type of help needed and forwarded to one of three lists: to 1) provide transportation, or 2) provide meals, or 3) do small handyman type projects. No, I'm not suggesting you take this on. Anyone on this forum has plenty on their plate, but someone might pick up the idea.
Do take care of yourself!
