The Tarrant County Meals on Wheels organization is putting out a desperate call for help.
Because of an increase in clients, they said more delivery drivers are needed to meet the demand.
Former military pilot and retired attorney Greg Gibson took an hour of his day Wednesday to lend a helping hand."You can’t imagine how this has helped us. I am very serious on that. You just cannot believe what it’s done for us," said Edie Mooney, who is a caretaker for her husband. Meals on Wheels currently has 43 open routes in Tarrant County. It’s the result of an increasing number of clients.
The agency is appealing to anyone with a little time and a running vehicle to become a volunteer delivery driver. "If you can’t do a regular route, we encourage people to become a substitute driver, delivery driver. There are different ways you can help," Phillip Gonzalez said. "We know gas is what it is, and your time is your time, so we try to keep it to that one hour a day."
