The blistering heat that has been hitting us here in North Texas... it's been putting people in a whole different mode of thinking.
We really have to think about everyone's health... and for organizations like Meals on Wheels... staying safe in the heat is not only important for the volunteers that work to deliver food but also to the senior citizens they serve.
On Ask the Expert, Philip Gonzalez is with Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County, he joined the KRLD Afternoon News to discuss just how crucial their visits are. Many times their crews encounter the elderly in bleak conditions to deal with the heat. So those wellness checks are absolutely crucial to getting them the critical attention they need to stay cool during this dangerous heat wave.
Gonzalez says everyone can pitch in to help out those most in need in our communities, just be a good neighbor. If you want to work with Meals on Wheels, they are always looking for volunteers to help. It just takes one hour a week. To apply visit, mealsonwheels.org
