Volunteers needed -- Meals-On-Wheels needs volunteer drivers in Lehi, one day a week, for one hour, in a four-mile delivery radius from the Lehi Senior Center at 123 N. Center St. Volunteer drivers are the people who actually deliver the meals to elderly, ill, frail or disabled seniors in their homes. They use their own vehicles to pick-up the food, 8-11 meals, at the Lehi Senior Center. The individual meals are packed in hot and cold food containers. The route takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The Tuesday route is now open. Please consider volunteering on Tuesday for one hour, once a week or as a back-up substitute. If you are interested in delivering Meals-On-Wheels, please contact Liz Merrell at 229-3821 or send an e-mail to
