TAMPA, Fla. — Retired teacher Kitty Wallace, 75, has been a Meals on Wheels volunteer for 17 years, delivering hot food to elderly, disabled and homebound people around the neighborhood.
Some days, she’s the only person they’ll see.
“By getting to know the individual folks, you get a sweet word and some thanks,” said Wallace as she loaded that day’s turkey meatball subs, sweet potato planks, veggies, fruit and bottled water into her blue 2009 Ford Focus. “You get far more than you give.”
