When Michael starts his volunteering shift at Blair Drive, there is often a tiny volunteer assistant following closely behind.

Michael’s dog Beau has been helping deliver Meals on Wheels for the past 3 years! "Beau and I started volunteering together six years ago. Ruth, my wife, had him become a certified therapy dog – she thought it may be fun if he came with me. That’s why he’s so good with people - it feels natural for him to go up to people’s places." Beau brightens the day of the seniors that Michael delivers to; "They spoil him just like I do. I have to cut his treats down on Meals on Wheels delivery day because of all the treats folks want to give him!" This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we honor all of the volunteers (human and canine alike!) who make deliveries special for our senior neighbors. 🐾
