 Gissell Perez 
Director of Development, Meals on Wheels Central Texas

Introduced by Lion John Nyfeler

Meals on Wheels Central Texas has a legacy of serving the Central Texas community for over 53 years by delivering hot nutritious meals to older and homebound adults. Our impact in our community has grown to serving over 3,000 neighbors every day, every week of the year. Through our comprehensive programs like Home Delivered Meals, Home Repair, PALS, and many more, we provide life-enriching services that allow our neighbors to age in place safely and with dignity. In this presentation, we will discuss our impact in our community, the services we offer, and how you can get involved in our mission.

This Lions Club has been involved with Meal on Wheels. Watch this video from a few years ago.
