Volunteers needed for Meals on Wheels as county has to cut some meals

The high cost of food and gas right now is hitting one local program especially hard, and if it doesn't get some much-needed help soon, there could be even more cuts. Meals on Wheels services 1,700 seniors a day in Macomb County alone. With no more federal COVID-19 dollars and growing demand, they've had to cut the amount of dinner meals served by 50% and the number of home-delivered meals by 20% I went out with Barb Yates, one of the volunteers for Meals on Wheels, to see how she's affected. She starts her day loading up freshly-prepared meals at one of the 22 different pick-up sites and heads out on her route. Yates is a pro by now. She's been volunteering for decades, starting out once a week. But when a shoulder injury made her job working with animals more difficult, she got more involved with this.
