The nonprofit group Faith in Action/Volunteer Action for Aging is seeking volunteers for this year’s Thanksgiving meal delivery program for older and disabled adults who have minimal resources and opportunities for holiday celebrations with family and friends. The undertaking has been a local tradition for more than 17 years.
On Thanksgiving Day, volunteers deliver one or more meals to recipients in the areas of greater Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, South Los Angeles and surrounding cities. Again this year, Lakewood Country Club will prepare the meals.
More than 500 meals were delivered last year, but this year’s goal is 1,000 meals.
To volunteer, contact volunteer coordinator Blanca Martinez at (562) 637-7103.
