Cass County Meals on Wheels will soon celebrate the 50th anniversary of delivering food to the home bound.  The first meals were delivered on October 15, 1973 in Griswold, Lewis, Anita and Atlantic.  It began as a county-wide service but each community now has it’s own version and the Cass County Meals on Wheels primarily serves Atlantic.  Group President Deb Lamb says most people think the Meals on Wheels program is just for the elderly, but other people will use the service as well.

Drivers are necessary to have a successful home bound meal service, and Lamb says they have been blessed with great volunteers.

Lamb says they will hold the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on October 11th at 6:00 pm at the Heritage House and any volunteers, past and present, are welcome.  If you would be interested in volunteering, contact Sue Moser at 712-250-0036.
