Event Description | Looking for a way to make a difference from your own home? Want to meet other PSU students while volunteering? Join PSU's Student Community Engagement Center to volunteer your time making cards for Store to Door and/or Meals on Wheels to brighten a senior's day! We will meet on Zoom and begin our time together with an explanation and discussion about Store to Door and/or Meals on Wheels and the work they do in the community. Then the rest of the hour will be spent crafting with whatever materials you have at home. You are welcome to draw, paint, write a letter or create anything you feel inspired to make - these crafts will be greatly appreciated by the seniors. Please also note that you will need to send these to Meals on Wheels these yourself, so make sure you have a postage stamp. (There is an option to drop off your homemade cards on campus for those who do not have the ability to send the letters themselves. Zoom link sent to those who register. We look forward to seeing you there! Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers meals to older individuals at home who are unable to purchase or prepare their own meals. Part of the program’s mission is to help seniors struggling with social isolation and loneliness. For 50 years, Meals on Wheels People has been meeting the social and nutritional needs of older adults in our community. They serve delicious and nutritious meals at dozens of dining centers in Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties and volunteers deliver Meals on Wheels and friendly visits to homebound elderly. Meals on Wheels depends on more than 5,600 volunteers annually to help us serve and deliver meals.
