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
