Buddy Meal Update

Started last year in March because we saw the need to check on some of our older members who are not necessarily online or have had accidents which have caused them to be in and out of the hospital during this weird and strange time. A group of between 5 to 9 Grange Members have gotten together every other month to create from donate items a hearty, not necessarily healthy (but we do try) meal. These meals give those we share them with a night off from cooking, a night to remember that we are thinking of them even if we don’t see them everyday. When we deliver the meals we add a Thinking of You card to ensure they know we are thinking of them. We feed roughly 25 to 30 people every other month. Most are older Grange members from Prairie Grange and other local Granges, some are people who we know are going through some trying times right now. Our first time we were able to use the Grange Hall on a Saturday because we were still not renting to the public yet, but now that we are back to renting the hall as much as possible to make up for not being able to rent it for over a year, we are limited to weekdays which means many of our members who would like to help are still working. We are looking into expanding the program to every month, possibly preparing the meal one evening and delivering the next with reheating instructions so more people could help distribute. Keep your eyes peeled on Facebook for more updates and details.
