Volunteers' Struggle with Gas Prices Highlighted in The Repository

Media coverage of the battle that Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties volunteers are waging with rising gas prices is ongoing.

The Repository, the largest metro newspaper in our two county area, included a full sidebar article on the topic in this morning's editions, accompanying a lead story about rising gas prices in general.

Reporter Diana Rossetti interviewed Tom Delamater, the agency's public relations administrator, earlier this week. "Retirees carry much of the load for Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties," she wrote, and pointed out that using as much as two or three gallons a week has affected enough volunteers to the point that five resigned last week alone.
