Our community depends on Tabitha’s dedicated Meals on Wheels volunteers to deliver more than 330 meals each and every day to those who are elderly or disabled. The daily receipt of a hot, nutritious meal is often the one thing that allows many individuals to remain independent in their own homes. Volunteers not only deliver a meal, they provide daily support and remind each meal recipient that someone truly cares. Please contact John Eggen in the church office or at
