delivering 16,609 meals to our homebound citizens in the first year alone. By the end of the
1970's, more than 20,000 meals per year were being distributed in Lewes and Rehoboth.
They currently have over 160 volunteers serving 300 clients in Lewes and Rehoboth
communities. They are able to deliver meals each day to those who need it most. The volunteers
