To stay connected with our volunteers, this Spring Meals On Wheels of Stark and Wayne Counties scheduled a series of eight Volunteer Meetings at several of the agency's 20 locations in the two-county area. The first meeting was on April 21 in Alliance, and the final session was June 9 at our administrative office building in Massillon.
Mary Marshall, volunteer coordinator, conducted the sessions, which averaged about 20 attendees per site -- for a total attendance of almost 160 volunteers.
Mary provided an update of recent news and events at the agency. It's easy for volunteers to overlook the scope of what they as a group accomplish -- particularly those who assist at our outside locations. When they hear about our full-sized, commercial commissary at the administrative office building, plus the number of meals prepared each day and the number of delivery routes that are covered, it helps them better identify with the size and scope of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties.
Mary also covered important policies and procedures that all volunteers must follow. Volunteers had the opportunity to ask questions and clarify what to do when various circumstances arise.
Lunch was provided at all the meetings courtesy of the CiCi's Pizza restaurants in the area. CiCi's has been a great friend of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties, and we appreciate their support. Several door prizes, donated by area companies, were awarded at the conclusion of each meeting.
