Daniele Berquist photos Drivers needed for program TERRACE — A local program which provides home delivery of hot meals to the elderly and disabled is unable to ex- pand due to a shortage of volunteer drivers. by Michael Kelly *‘Meals on Wheels’, sponsored by the Terrace and District Community Services. Society (TDCSS), operates three days a week to deliver hot, full-course lunches to Terrace people who are unable to cook for themselves. These in- clude senior citizens, hospital outpatients recovering in their homes, and the mentally - and physically disabled. Lorna Copeland, TDCSS administrator, said in a recent interview that the ‘‘Meals on Wheels’? service is not widely advertised be- cause the projected de- mand would be too large for the staff of volunteer drivers to deal with. She speculated that the ongo- ing shortage of drivers could be attributed to the fact that many people are wary or fearful of contact with disabled in- dividuals. Copeland went on to outline the volunteers’ duties, noting that drivers contribute from one to three hours per week, She said that the meals are picked up from the Terraceview Lodge and that each driver has an average of four deliveries. The dinners cost $3 each, $2 of which is paid by the recipient and $1 by Terrace Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Dur- ing 1985, the Legion con- tributed more than $2,000 to the program. Copeland said that one of the most impor- tant functions of the .people, volunteer drivers is to monitor the well-being of people living alone who are in failing health or have limited abilities to care for themselves. She also suggested that there is a genuine need in the Terrace area for an advocacy group to pro- vide a whole spectrum of support services for such adding that funding and sponsorship would be available through the TDCSS.
