Item 3A2 Meals On Wheels, Inc., prepares and delivers meals to elderly and disabled persons who are unable to prepare meals for themselves; and, Whereas, for the past thirty-five years the citizens of Tarrant County have benefited from the delivery of over 11 million meals to our homebound neighbors; and, Whereas, this organization has a volunteer force of over 3,800 persons who donate their time, vehicle, gasoline and energy to deliver over 850,000 hot meals to Tarrant County residents annually; and, Whereas, Meals On Wheels case workers make over 10,800 home visits annually to act as advocates for clients. No client is ever refused service because of inability to pay; and, Whereas, these efforts have resulted in the improvement in the lives of the homebound and disabled in Tarrant County with continued personal independence, daily visits by caring volunteers, well-balanced meals, and the assistance of professional caseworkers; now, Therefore, I, Andy Wambsganss, Mayor of the City of Southlake, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim March 2008 as March for Meals Awareness Month in Tarrant County
