They notice what the rest of us miss.
Some of the folks who need us most aren’t the ones who call.
They’re the neighbors who don’t want to be a bother. Who figure someone worse off should get the help first. Who’ve been living with a leaky roof or a busted ramp since the storm and just… haven’t said anything.
That’s why we’re so glad to be partnering with Polk County Senior Services- The Meeting Place - Meals on Wheels.
Their drivers are in and out of homes across this county five days a week, and for a lot of homebound residents, they’re the only face they see all week. They notice things. The roof that’s still not fixed. The porch step that isn’t safe anymore. The quiet way someone’s struggling.
Now, when they see it, they can connect that person straight to us.
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it — recovery isn’t something any one group can do alone. It takes people paying attention, and people willing to make the call. Grateful doesn’t even cover how we feel about this partnership.
If you know someone still dealing with damage from Helene, don’t wait for them to ask. Reach out to us — 828-202-9226 or [email protected] — and let’s get them help.
