AUSTIN, Texas — On Friday, Meals on Wheels of Central Texas delivered food to seniors.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Meals on Wheels changed from delivering meals on a daily basis to, now, deliveries every two weeks.
Meals on Wheels recipients receive two weeks’ worth of meals every other Friday.
With Meals on Wheels short on volunteers, Austin police are stepping up and delivering meals.
“Today we have five or six officers making rounds on this side of the city,” Corporal Timothy Price told KVUE. “I think they are going to continue to run short for the time being. We will still help out if we can.”
