After I retired, I wanted a meaningful thing to do, and I wanted to give something back. Volunteering with MOW has given me this opportunity. I also have a longstanding family connection with MOW. My mother-in-law at the time volunteered by cooking meals and my late father volunteered delivering meals. They are really what inspired me to join. What I enjoy most is seeing them literally waiting for me to come. We have nice conversations. I love it when I leave and hear them say “see you next week.” I truly enjoy every week. Volunteering with MOW has been one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make a positive difference in someone’s life.
