Community Action:  2008-2009 Meals on Wheels Hurricane Delivery Project 2009 marks the fourth year of the partnership between Meals on Wheels and the Junior League of Tampa to deliver hurricane kits consisted of a battery powered radio/flashlight, a gallon of water, a box of non-perishable food, and hurricane guides and information to Tampa's homebound citizens. JLT contributed $12,000 and 50 volunteers to create 500 hurricane kits and completed 42 delivery routes. On Saturday, May 30th Junior League of Tampa Volunteers arrived at Meals on Wheels, where Director Steve King put us to work staging the hurricane kits for delivery. Volunteers with their spouses, kids, and friends started arriving in 30 minute time slots at 9:00am to acquire their delivery route and load the kits into their cars. By 10:30am, the last kit was loaded and the Meals on Wheels employees were discussing how well the project went this year. Thanks to Kim Carswell (Community Action Chair), Laura Hobby (Community Vice President), and all of the Junior League volunteers and their families for making this another successful project.  If you are interested in partnering with the Junior League of Tampa for a "Done-in-a-day" Project, please follow this link to to download an application.
