Over the years we get some great chats from the older generation and often times we might randomly ask them if they have any advice for the younger generation considering the years of genuine struggle , hard work , dedication and love for family they lived through and listening to some of the advice is something we all should heed, “travel, make memories, no second chances, always be kind, look on the bright side of every situation” some lovely words of advice from a much loved generation , and with so much love and passion we at Arklow Meals on Wheels have for the elderly, the illl, and those who struggle at times with living alone,it is with no surprise at all we can make this wonderful post of some of the donations we recieved this Christmas from yourselves, Community, Schools, groups, individuals and so much more. So many don’t want recognition, they just simply wish to give back and give praise that they are able to help.
