This ministry assists the Liberty Meals on Wheels program by delivering meals to the homes of those with diminished mobility in the Liberty area. The meals are prepared by the Liberty Hospital. Often, these meals are the only hot, nutritious meal the clients will have for the day. Just as important, these deliveries provide the clients with a friendly face to connect with and someone to check on them throughout the week.
St. James provides one driver each Monday and Friday and additional drivers when needed. Meals are picked up at 11:00am at Liberty Fire Station #1 at 200 W. Mississippi St. Each volunteer driver is assigned a clipboard with a mapped route, a cooler with drinks, and a food container with 2-6 meals to deliver. Depending on the number of deliveries, the route will take 20-45 minutes to complete.
This is a very rewarding ministry for our community and we are always looking for new members.
