Meals on Wheels (MOW) Drivers Needed

MOW has continued to grow this past year, therefore we need to add a 3rd route to meet the needs of the community. If you are interested in driving permanently one day a week, please reach out to Kathy Adamson at 734.429.9274 or adamsonk@salineschools.org. This is a meaningful volunteer position. You will be trained by a current driver.

Members Marilyn, Susan, and Marlene have been hard at work on their Knitted Knockers project. The ladies knit/crochet and deliver to St. Joe/Trinity Hospital. Patterns and more information are available on knittedknockers.com. If you are interested in learning more, we can put you in contact with Marilyn!

From Knitted Knockers' website, "Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prostheses for women who have had breast cancer and undergone mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them."
