Mayors for meals

While he didn’t have the time to deliver Meals on Wheels as he has done in prior years, Mayor Scott Avedisian dropped by Pilgrim Senior Center yesterday to meet with Robert Markham, seen here, of the Warwick program delivering meals to 150 Warwick shut-ins. Meals are delivered five days a week for a suggested donation of $3 a meal. Wednesday was National Mayors for Meals Day. Avedisian lauded the program as a “way of keeping connections in the community.” Meals are prepared by a caterer in East Providence and then shipped to the senior center where volunteers pick them up for delivery.
