By Edna Kramer Each year at Catholic Charities Senior Dining - Albany we celebrate the people who are at the heart of Senior Dining the Volunteers. Since April of 1988 when the meal program began with Sr. Grace Donvan contacting Merilyn Gilk senior center president at that time. We have had many volunteers become apart of our program assisting with meal delivery, setting up the dining room, helping serve up meals, helping prepare meals, wash dishes, etc. That is 25 years of service to many surrounding communities. To this date some of those volunteers are with us. Grace Sabrowsky, Gertie Cremers, many on the St. Joseph and Avon routes. Through these years one mission of Catholic Charities remains. We all want the elder to age in place, to have the choice and the opportunity to remain in the privacy of their own home as long as they so choose, to live in dignity. Our meal program provides family with

that option. Our many volunteers reach out to many local communities, and all meals are delivered with a smile. This act of kindness delights our many diners, on Meals on Wheels and at Congregate dining. This past year 2012, the Albany dining site prepared, delivered or served in Congregate dining and Meals on Wheels over 39,664 meals. Throughout the many routes of the Albany senior dining program, volunteers contributed 56,632 volunteer hours for congregate meals and 23,611 hours for home delivered meals. This year’s volunteer appreciation was held in Freeport at the Community Center. A day began with entertainment by the Slew Foot Family Band. Under the director of mother Karen Becker. What a wonderful job and very talented family. Sharing their knowledge of singing, playing instruments, and dance. A meal was prepared, served and enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to our many supporters and volunteers for this program. You help make everything we do possible.
