Make Someone’s Day

ADVOCAP’s senior home-delivered meal program delivers about 300 to 400 bags containing the meals each day to homes in Winneconne, Omro, Pickett, Neenah, Menasha and Oshkosh. Some of those bags have been decorated by school kids, church groups, and senior citizens in nursing homes with colorful decorations and quotations. Amanda Wiechman is an Outreach Specialist for ADVOCAP’s Food & Nutrition Program. She says they started the Make Someone’s Day program decorating those paper bags to brighten the days of those they deliver to. She says the bags will be decorated for holidays and seasons, but sometimes the person they are delivering to just needs their spirits lifted. She points out some participants cut out the bags after they are used and tack them up on the refrigerator because they remind them of when their kids were in school and used to come home with decorations. Those who would like to volunteer to decorate the bags can call 920-725-2791.
