There are the cooks inside the kitchen at the Erie County Seniors Center, the coordinators who plan the meal routes and manage the volunteers, and the retirees who volunteer their time to pack up the meals and deliver to the homes of those in need. When the “Covid-19 Stay At Home Orders” were put into place on March 16, 2020 the demand for meals to be delivered to older adults in the city of Sandusky, and throughout Erie County, skyrocketed on March 17, 2020. This caused a lot of additional cooking with no advanced notice. Nanette Peters, Kitchen Supervisor, explained, “I start the day at 6:00 a.m. and get everything ready. Another cook comes in at 7:00 a.m. We are making two days of food product every day The Kitchen that Cooks Up Care (one hot meal and one frozen). We all love our jobs. That’s why we do it.” On behalf of everyone who was able to stay home and stretch their food supply, because of the meals, we would like to say thank you! Thank you to the caring kitchen staff who make the food, the considerate coordinators who organize the delivery of the meals, and the dedicated volunteers who package and deliver the meals to the home. Because of you, hundreds of older adults are finding it easier to grow older safely.
