To the editor:
Senior Services of Alexandria with the help of its board members, the Sheriff’s Department and trusty volunteers, delivered meals to more than 95 elderly residents on Tuesday, February 9, in spite of the weather.
Normally, meals are not provided when schools are closed, but with the predicted snow storm, Senior Services of Alexandria arranged for meal delivery with the help of these caring individuals, school-age and up: We thank Tim Gleason, Tony Davis, Wendy Webb, Act for Alexandria, John Porter, Lori Morris, Dillon Morris, Abby Sater, Christopher Campagna, Bea Campagna, Mickey Campagna, Liza Banks Campagna, Dianna Campagna, Greg Murphy, Ken Barnett, Connie Hart and Bud Hart.
In addition to providing the meals, the volunteers ensured that the seniors were warm and chatted with them for a while.
Alexandrians have a special way of collaborating in times of need. I know our senior clients are grateful for the meals, so on their behalf, thanks again.
