It is like a sci fi movie. They began to literally take over the parking lot, run up the walls and into our rooms. Not sure what to do, the family of six waited and a boat came to their rescue. It was noahs ark literally. We floated on top of mcdonalds. What they saw outside was unbelievable. Caskets are overturning and bodies floating and graves ransacked by sights, sounds and smells.

Opinion: Our employees risk their lives to serve seniors Tracey Collins, Opinion contributor
In the 53 years since being founded, Cincinnati Area Senior Services has developed a reputation for being committed to our clients, even delivering meals to them during snowstorms. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has challenged us like never before.
Initially, we wondered how we’d meet the need. But our frontline employees have amazed us with their commitment.
At a time when home delivery of food is more important than ever, our employees have exhibited what it means to care deeply about other people. Like a firefighter running toward danger, our Meals on Wheels drivers haven’t hesitated to continue delivering meals to people’s homes. Instead, they have shown courage – and they continue to do so – working more hours than ever to meet the increased demand. In 2020, CASS delivered about 400,000 meals to older adults, a 30% increase due to the pandemic.
