16th –17th Jimmy Dean Music & Arts Festival
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit; stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you fi nd that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start
all over again.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Volunteer drivers needed at Meals on Wheels
Volunteer drivers, both regular and substitute, are needed each weekday to deliver meals for Lubbock Meals on Wheels.
You do not need to commit to a set schedule to volunteer. Some drivers prefer to take the same route on the same day each week whereas others prefer to just substitute when needed.
For many meal recipients, the volunteer may be the only person they see during the day. That daily human contact is just as important as the nutritious meal they receive.
Each route takes approximately 1 hour to deliver. Most routes have 10 to 16 clients.
A background check and one-hour orientation is required for all delivery volunteers.
If you would like to try it out fi rst, you can be paired up with a volunteer for a ‘ride-along.’ Just call 806792-7971.
Delivery volunteer opportunities are available from 10:45 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday.
Non-delivery volunteer opportunities are available throughout the day Monday through Friday for various administrative and kitchen duties, washing coolers, building and vehicle maintenance, and assisting with the Pet Program. Groups and individuals are always needed to help with special projects, activities, and fundraising events.
To volunteer, call 806792-7971, or go online to www.LubbockMealsOnWheels.org and complete a Volunteer Application Form.
