Army of Volunteers Works to Feed Thousands of Seniors Every Day

An army of volunteers canvas Chatham, Bryan, Effingham and Liberty Counties every day. They are about 500 strong and they make sure the region’s senior citizens don’t go hungry.

They are part of the meals on wheels program run by Senior Citizens, Inc. in Savannah.

“We have been a part of this community for 63 years,” said Patti Lyons, SCI’s president. “In fact, we were literally born out of four people noticing that some of their neighbors were struggling to feed themselves. They got together, packed up a week’s worth of lunches and helped 13 older adults. Today, we will prepare and deliver almost 2,000 meals.”
