83-year-old Bill Youman proves it's never too late to do good. For the past year, he has been delivering meals five days a week, bringing not only food but also warmth and companionship to homebound seniors in his community. His daily wellness checks ensure his aging neighbors are safe, hydrated, and comfortable. Bill says, "When you’re 83 years of age, there’s not a lot of things you can do. But I can still drive, I hope safely. And I can still deliver the food, but mostly I get to meet an awful lot of wonderful people." Bill's commitment and compassion truly embody the spirit of Meals on Wheels. Join us in celebrating Bill and all our volunteers who make a difference every day. 💙

It's a fact: None of us have a time machine. But we do have the power to share advice from what we've learned through our lives. Naturally, some of the best advice comes from those who have had more life experience to learn from. Whether it's professional or an all-around tip, what is the best advice you've ever received, and what is some of your own advice you'd like to share?
