Haywood Meals on Wheels seeks help

After Covid, Haywood Meals on Wheels lost volunteers and was forced to drop meal deliveries to three days per week. The goal is to return to a five-day delivery schedule. 

The program requires just a couple hours one day per week from each volunteer. An individual could also coordinate a group of friends, family or coworkers for rotation of a route. There is also a need for substitute drivers for most routes to give regular volunteers time for vacations or appointments.

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Cheryl McCracken at 828.356.2442 or Cheryl.McCracken@haywoodcountync.gov. To donate, visit mowhaywoodnc.org or mail a donation to Haywood County Health and Human Services, 157 Paragon Pkwy, Suite 300, Clyde, NC 28721.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
