Meals on Wheels began in 1960 serving just 10 people. The organization now delivers over 1,000 meals a day, but they couldn’t do it without volunteers. Students from the Harbour School are among those volunteers. They gave so much of their time that the Ravens and M&T Bank awarded them an honor row at a Ravens home game.
Among them are students from The Harbour School. They are giving so much of their time at the Ravens at M&T Bank. They were awarded with seats to an honorary Ravens Game.
It’s 9:30 in the morning, well, into the workday for this Meals on Wheels volunteer named Tina Wallace. She’s happy to be celebrating her birthday on the job. She is about to hit the road along with other drivers for Meals on Wheels. They will cover 8 counties, today delivering premade meals to homebound seniors. You will need a lot of people like Tina here. From the front office to the kitchen, everyone pitches in.
On this day, Siri Llamas and her students from The Harbour School report for work. “We started a student community service team called Harbouring Hope,” says Siri Llamas. The team, from a school from special needs, comes here to volunteer several times per month. They require 100 hours of service learning per year, yet nobody seems to be keeping count. Most years, students far exceed that. “It is so incredible and awesome. Helping others is the right thing to do. I have always wanted to help people less fortunate than myself,” says students Caitlyn Allen and Timothy Elijah Coleman, both seniors at Harbour School.
From students to company executives, every volunteer works side-by-side preparing meals. They’re welcome to lend a hand Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 1PM. Just about every meal here is touched by a volunteer. They have over 1,000 volunteers helping to put out over one million meals per year. Tina Wallace is packed and ready to go. Rain, shine, birthday or no, fueled by the spirit of giving.
