he Thanksgiving tradition brings families together to visit, watch football, and gather around the dinner table for turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes, and apple pie. But for the homebound elderly with fami lies far away, the holiday can be a time of depression and loneliness. This past Thanksgiving, the Alumni Association of the Rollins School of Public Health shared part of their day with Atlanta's elderly by participating in the Meals on Wheels program. Run by Senior Citizen Services of Metropolitan Atlanta, Meals on Whee ls is "nutrition for the body and the soul," says Renée Jensrud, associate director of development at the school. More than 30 alumni, faculty, staff, and their families delivered meals and visited with the elderly on Thanksgiving morning. Making up the largest contingency to participate in Meals on Wheels on Thanksgiving day, the group covered 13 routes, deliveri ng hot turkey lunches throughout the metropolitan area. The Thanksgiving effort was only one of the recent events sponsored by the Alumni Association's Community Service Committee. The group also volunteered for Hands On Atlanta Day and participated in the AIDS Walk Atlanta. For information on future activities, alumni may contact Jensrud at 404-727-3311. |
The public health volunteers who helped deliver Meals on Wheels included alumni, faculty, students, spouses, and friends of the school. |
