My Last Day At Spectrum Generations’ Meals On Wheels

My Last Day At Spectrum Generations’ Meals On Wheels

Renee Nelson

Today (June 16, 2021) is my last day volunteering with Spectrum Generations' Meals On Wheels. I started volunteering in late March or early April of 2020. It was SO essential at that time. At the start of the pandemic, many of the volunteers were concerned about COVID, so bringing in new volunteers to help fill that gap and get things done was necessary.  

COVID was so new, and no one had any idea what was going to happen, and Spectrum Generations was preparing for different situations. It was the biggest blessing to me. I know, I know, I was there to help them pack the meals for the Meals On Wheels program and help get it out to central Mainers. I mostly packed the meals but also have helped organizes the meals into the bags to be sent out to the routes, and my friend Merry has shared many stories from the delivery route she drives one day a week.

Meals On Wheels, like so many organizations, can do what they do because of volunteers. If you are looking for a great place to volunteer your time that will make a difference, volunteering with Spectrum Generations would be highly recommended by me. If you want to know more about volunteering, here is the link to learn more.

If you want to know more about Spectrum Generations and their services, they have a great website covering their services and more about the vast service area that covers many counties. Check it out; their services are so VERY important to our community.

I will miss my time with the gang at Spectrum Generations and with my dear friend, Merry.

LOOK: Here Are 30 Foods That Are Poisonous to Dogs

To prepare yourself for a potential incident, always keep your vet's phone number handy, along with an after-hours clinic you can call in an emergency. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center also has a hotline you can call at (888) 426-4435 for advice.

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.

LOOK: The most popular biblical baby names

To determine the most popular biblical baby names, Stacker consulted the name origin site Behind the Name and the Social Security Administration's baby names database then ranked the top 50 names from Behind the Name's Biblical Names origins list of 564 names, based on how many babies had been given these names in 2019.
