MLK Jr. Day Soup and Cracker Update

Wow, what a great project!! Giles RSVP volunteers collected over 700 cans of soup and over 68 containers of crackers!! Working with the New River Valley Agency on Aging 37 senior Shut-In's received 24 cans of soup with 4 boxes of crackers each. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the Giles Community supporting this project. Thankfully we were able to get the donations to the Shut-In's before all the snow storms started. We first separated and bagged the donations to make it easier then took them to the Agency on Aging nutrition site for delivery. To help we had two of our RSVP volunteers deliver all over Giles County to the AOA clients who only receive frozen meals. It really was a relief to know that these elderly seniors who can not get out on their own and some who their families can not get to them for a day or two due to the snow had a easy to prepare nutritious bowl of soup.
