Five days a week for the past six years, 87-year-old Grace, along with her dog Max, have been at the door to meet their Meals on Wheels driver. Grace loves both the meals and the conversation. Max loves the dog biscuits!

Last Wednesday, when Jerry got to the door, things were a bit different. When he knocked, Grace told him to come in, but remained in her chair. Max didn’t run up to him, but remained sitting beside Graces’s chair not eating the biscuit that Jerry offered. He asked Grace several times if she and Max were ok. She said they were fine, but the tone of her voice and Max’s unusual behavior set off alarms in Jerry’s head. When Jerry finished his route, he reported his concerns to the Meals on Wheels office who called Grace’s daughter.

They received this note from Grace’s daughter yesterday.

Dear Meals on Wheels, Living outside of Billings, I very much appreciated you calling me when you were concerned about Mom. I truly believe that saved her life! She spent a few days in the hospital and is now home She is getting better day by day. Today, she told me that while my cooking is ok, she really prefers the meals you deliver. Max is much happier too, now that Mom is getting back to her old self! You are all amazing and I thank you on behalf of my Mom and all the seniors you serve! Suzanne (Grace’s daughter)

Last year, 88,324 meals were delivered to Yellowstone County seniors. Each one of these meals costs over $12.00 to prepare. Without your help, Meals on Wheels could not exist.

Thank you! May your holiday season be filled with peace and wellness.
