Meals on Wheels

St. Margaret's is honored to participate in the Meals on Wheels program, a ministry coordinated by IONA Senior Services. On the fourth Saturday of every month, volunteers from our parish join in with others to provide nutritious meals for homebound elderly in our region of the District of Columbia. Runs begin between 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM and volunteers will be assigned a route complete with driving directions and special notes to assist with each delivery.

If you would be interested in participating, please give Bob Healy a call at 202.887.8686 or 202.966.4252.
