AUSTIN, Texas — On Christmas Day, 150 volunteers lined up outside of Meals on Wheels Central Texas to pick up meals to deliver to home-bound elderly.
"If I can make someone smile today, today is a good day," a volunteer said.
Around 500 fresh meals went out, along with a Christmas gift filled with a blanket and other items to keep folks warm.
Fifty-one teams split up to deliver the meals, and Richard Cantu and his family were one of them.
"My grandparents used Meals on Wheels back when I was younger," Cantu said. "I am sure my parents will use Meals on Wheels."
