Blizzard Bag Delivery - Friday, January 27th Each
year Senior Resources of Broomfield supplies over 80 Blizzard Bags for
our senior population. These bags contain three days of non-perishable
food supplies so that, in the event of extreme weather where a senior
could not go out of their home, they will have an emergency supply of
food. This year the TGIF Leads group of the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce
volunteered to deliver these bags. |

Meals-On-Wheels "Meals on Wheels delivers more than just nutritious food to its many clients across the country. Its representatives are often the only social contact for isolated seniors" (Mike Cuthbert , Prime Time Radio) The above quote is from an article written by Mike Cuthbert of Prime Time Radio. The Meals-On-Wheels program does more than deliver healthy meals to home bound seniors in our community. Want to find out more about the Meals-On-Wheels program? AARP Radio had an interesting program which covers all aspects of the program across the U.S. . Click here to access the radio program and learn about its importance. The program is 23 minutes in length but it is well worth your time to listen. The program describes the people who perform this valuable service, the typical client who uses the service, and the companies who support this valuable service, and addresses the importance of inter-generational interaction between the young and the elderly. After listening to this program did it encourage you to want to make a difference in people's lives? Do you want to give back to the community? Then become involved. You can support this program financially by making a donation to Senior Resources of Broomfield Inc. or by volunteering as a driver for the Meals-On-Wheels program.
