MIFFLINTOWN – Chad Sample with the Mifflin Juniata Regional Services, was on conference call with the Juniata County commissioners Tuesday to discuss the need for volunteers for the Home Delivery Meal Program. The program currently serves 130 seniors in Juniata County from two locations, the River Church in Mifflintown and McAlisterville Senior Center at the Lions Den in McAlisterville.
The program relies on volunteer drivers to deliver the meals to the senior’s homes. Currently the program is looking for volunteers for two Juniata County rural routes. The volunteers would fill in for the regular drivers when they are sick, on vacation or are unable to make deliveries that day. Sample said prior to making deliveries on a route the volunteers will have an opportunity to ride along with the regular drivers so they can become familiar with the route.
