Meals on Wheels Needs Volunteers

TYLER — An ongoing issue for the Tyler-based Meals on Wheels Ministry is the need for volunteers. On KTBB “Staff meeting,” Executive Director Mike Powell says recent government funding cuts are making that need even more urgent. Powell says using volunteers instead of paid drivers saves money, and right now, Meals on Wheels has about fifty openings in Tyler that it would like to fill. Powell says then Meals on Wheels would open up some new routes, and the extra volunteers would allow the agency to free up some funding to feed more people.
