<br />
Please bring recyclable aluminum cans <strong>to</strong> <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong>. Regular trips are<br />
made <strong>to</strong> recycle these materials, and the money received provides funds for programs. In<br />
the future, <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> hopes <strong>to</strong> have a recycle trailer on site, but until then,<br />
you can still help the environment and <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> by bringing your aluminum<br />
cans <strong>to</strong> 2304-34th Street during office hours, Monday – Friday, 8a.m.-4:30p.m.<br />

a note from the executive direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
A late night phone call from our alarm company informed me there was trouble with the main freezer<br />
in the building. Much <strong>to</strong> my chagrin, the problem was that the copper tubing going <strong>to</strong> the freezer had<br />
been stripped off the outside of the building. We had lost the Freon coolant, and temperatures had<br />
risen. Freon is extremely expensive at $25 a pound, and we lost $1500 worth.<br />
The report <strong>to</strong> the police and insurance company alerted me <strong>to</strong> many other businesses, schools, and<br />
new residential homes, having the same problem. I was incensed because LMOW is a charity providing<br />
a basic human need, and this damage was senseless and intentional.<br />
The people who live in this community responded <strong>to</strong> our plight. <strong>On</strong> behalf of the board of direc<strong>to</strong>rs,<br />
the staff, and myself, we thank everyone who sent a gift <strong>to</strong> help with the repairs and security measures<br />
<strong>to</strong> prevent further vandalism.<br />
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it’s the<br />

Big Sale = Big Bucks<br />

impressive $8,400 for <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on<br />
<strong>Wheels</strong>! This amazing sorority has held<br />
this annual sale for over thirty consecutive<br />
years. Since 1994 they have donated<br />
more than $65,000 <strong>to</strong> our agency. They<br />
would like <strong>to</strong> thank everyone who donated<br />
items <strong>to</strong> the sale and, of course,<br />
<strong>to</strong> all of the shoppers who made the<br />
event a success. Our sincere thanks goes<br />
<strong>to</strong> Delta Theta Chi for all of their hard<br />
work on this huge garage sale and for<br />
their dedication <strong>to</strong> <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on<br />

<strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> July 2008
Volunteers deliver dry dog food and cat food every other week <strong>to</strong><br />
the pets of meal recipients who are unable <strong>to</strong> provide pet food<br />
for their furry friends. Currently, about 80 dogs and cats are on<br />
the Pet Food Program, so donations of food are always welcome!<br />
Collecting pet food is also a great project for a service group,<br />
organization, or business office. Anyone interested in donating<br />
food can either bring it by <strong>Lubbock</strong> <strong>Meals</strong> on <strong>Wheels</strong> during normal<br />
business hours (8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Monday<br />
– Friday) or call (806) 792-7971 for more<br />

Volunteer <strong>to</strong> Feed the Need!<br />
Looking for a great activity for you and your children or grandchildren<br />
this summer If you are able <strong>to</strong> donate an hour of your time, you can make<br />
an incredible difference in the life of someone who is homebound, elderly,<br />
or disabled. Summer is here and that means many new volunteer drivers are<br />
needed. Many student volunteers are not available in the summer, and many<br />
other volunteers take well-deserved vacations during this time so substitute<br />
volunteers are needed <strong>to</strong> fill in. A one-hour orientation is required. All of the<br />
routes are within the city limits, have between 6 and 12 s<strong>to</strong>ps, and average<br />
about 12 miles. It only takes about one hour <strong>to</strong> deliver a route, and you can<br />
go as often as you choose. If you are unable <strong>to</strong> become a volunteer, you can<br />
still help by passing along this information <strong>to</strong> your friends, family, civic club,<br />
Sunday school class, mission group, or other organization <strong>to</strong> help us recruit<br />
new volunteers!<br />
A special opportunity available for businesses is our Corporate Volunteer<br />
Program. Local businesses are encouraged <strong>to</strong> participate by allowing employees<br />
<strong>to</strong> deliver meals during their lunch hour. This allows employers <strong>to</strong><br />
be civic minded without excessive loss of staff time. For convenience, the<br />
required orientation may be held at your place of business. Approximately<br />
30 businesses are currently involved in this program.<br />
If you or your group or business is interested in signing up for the best<br />
volunteer job in <strong>to</strong>wn, please call Barbara at 792-7971 and start making a<br />
difference <strong>to</strong>day.<br />
