Burnet County Meals on Wheels & Senior Activity Center in Marble Falls is inviting the community to an open house on Friday, Feb. 12, from 10 a.m.-noon at the Boys & Girls Club Seriff Center on Broadway.
Meals on Wheels serves lunchtime meals each weekday at the Boys & Girls Club, in addition to home deliveries for homebound people. Last year, Meals on Wheels volunteers were able to switch from heating frozen meals to cooking “heart-healthy meals” at the Boys & Girls Club kitchen.
The organization has been operating in Marble Falls for almost a year and diishes up nutrition to 20-40 people at the community center, plus another 45 individuals through home delivery.
Still, the program’s site manager said it could do more.
