From Asheville-
It’s a holiday tradition that’s over a decade strong. Residents and staff at Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community partner with volunteers and staff at Meals On Wheels of Asheville and Buncombe County to prepare and deliver a Thanksgiving bounty to nearly 300 homebound seniors in our community.
Meals On Wheels of Asheville and Buncombe County is the largest meal delivery program in Western North Carolina and serves nearly 500 homebound seniors each weekday. However, the agency is closed in observance of the holiday.
Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community has teams of residents who regularly deliver Meals On Wheels throughout the year. On Thanksgiving, they prepare a traditional holiday dinner in their kitchen, while other Meals On Wheels staff members and volunteers come out to deliver those meals to homebound seniors living throughout the county.
Anyone wanting additional information about supporting Meals On Wheels can call Terri Bowman at (828)253-5286.
The Thanksgiving meal will be cooked and packaged at the Community Center of Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community at 1617 Hendersonville Rd. in Asheville. Volunteer pickup and delivery of the Thanksgiving meal will be between 9:00AM to 10:45AM Thursday.
