MINNEAPOLIS Before the lunch hour but still during an excessive heat warning Wednesday, around a dozen volunteers met outside Judson Memorial Baptist Church to load their cars with meals. No, it s not too bad right now, volunteer Jim Burns said. I think it will get a lot worse this afternoon.
For 18 years, Burns regularly volunteered with Meals on Wheels to deliver meals to people who are considered vulnerable. He says the timing worked well with his lunch break at work; sometimes his daughters would join him.
