This is one of the most impressive things I've seen in my life. Operation Homebound is amazing and is operated by volunteers from throughout the area and is headquartered at North Lake Presbyterian Church. I helped an elderly woman get signed up for the program about a year ago. She was financially well-to-do by most standards but was not able to stand for a very long period of time-which was one of the criteria for the program. She lived alone. She called and applied over the phone and was receiving meals within a week. She used the program for a couple of months before she passed. It was a Godsend to her and her family.
When they delivered her meals on Friday, they gave her enough to get her through the weekend. I strongly support this program and would recommend it to anyone who needs assistance preparing their meals. Best wishes to you and your parents. You've been blessed to have them for a long time and I hope it is for much, much longer. Happy New Year.
