A local organization is celebrating a special anniversary of helping those in our community in need of food assistance.
Donna Leary is a volunteer with Butler Meals on Wheels and said it’s an impressive operation.
“It’s just amazing how it works,” Leary said. “Everyone has a job, everyone has a time to show up. It’s the best run, well-oiled machine I’ve seen in my life.”
The 50th anniversary dinner for Butler Meals On Wheels will take place Tuesday at the Butler Days Inn. 174 people will be attending this event which has closed registration due to available space.
Many Butler Meals on Wheels volunteers have given years of service to homebound community members.
The organization was started back in 1969 with 13 clients. Now, the volunteer group helps feed more than 100 clients on a day-to-day basis.
