“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Meals on Wheels Program in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, who recently celebrated a 50-year milestone of helping neighbors in need. Marty Yachisko is the lifeblood of this operation. Marty has been running the Meals on Wheels Program in Indiana County out of the local American Legion kitchen since 1981. Five days a week, Marty and his volunteers gather at the Legion to prepare meals for local senior citizens. Currently, Meals on Wheels of Indiana County is serving 35 seniors but, in the past, volunteers have served up to 70 individuals daily. Before COVID-19, almost 10 million seniors were facing hunger threats. Meals on Wheels provides an incredibly valuable service. It is not just hot meals. For many seniors, their only social interaction of the day may be their visit from a Meals on Wheels volunteer. That connection is invaluable. Meals on Wheels Indiana is always looking for more volunteers looking to help seniors in their community. Thank you to Marty and the team at Meals on Wheels Indiana County for their dedication. ____________________”
