Shafina, joined by her colleagues from the Office of Equity and Inclusion, visited Meals on Wheels Central Texas for a tour of our offices and kitchen. Here, we presented Shafina with a Certificate of Recognition, honoring her commitment to older adults’ health and well-being. As a champion, she will advocate for our homebound neighbors’ needs and the services they depend on to thrive.
Champions Needed to Empower Older Central Texans
At this moment, older adults and other homebound individuals across Central Texas need critical support. Volunteers are instrumental in delivering hot, healthy meals and connections that help our homebound neighbors remain independent.
Be a champion for homebound neighbors by delivering meals and friendly smiles to their doors.
Community support fuels this lifeline of care. Champion our neighbors with a gift that helps us deliver nourishment, care, and companionship today.
