Derby Mayor to Deliver Meals to Seniors

                     

Who?          TEAM’s Meals one Wheels program delivered more than 40,000 meals to 260 elderly living in Derby and the surrounding Valley communities.

 

What?         Derby Mayor Richard Dziekan will be delivering meals door-to-door in Derby as part of TEAM’s Meals on Wheels program.

 

When?        On November 14 beginning at approximately 9:45am – then traveling door-to-door to the homes of Derby seniors for approximately an hour.

 

Where?       Mayor Dziekan will meet TEAM’s Meals on Wheels truck & staff at the Valley Diner on Route 34 and then be traveling door-to-door delivering meals to Derby seniors for approximately an hour. Serving in twelve communities, TEAM’s central offices are located at 30 Elizabeth Street in Derby, CT.

 

Why?          Mayor Dziekan is volunteering his time to demonstrate awareness and increase support for this essential TEAM Meals on Wheels program that helps so many of our Valley’s homebound and often isolated older residents. The majority of TEAM’s Meals on Wheels recipients live in isolation, one in two are low income, and almost one out of every three is aged 90 years or more. TEAM’s Meals on Wheels program delivers daily nutritious meals, friendly social visits, and safety checks to enrolled seniors all year long.
