Community Center Class: Making The World A Better Place (Tuesday Evening)
"Wheels up, people!" Yang hollered cheerfully as she ushered them through the portal this week. "This time, literally!"
"Meals on Wheels is a program that brings pre-made meals to senior citizens who are for one reason or another in need of help with meals. They provide nutritious meals, a quick safety check and much-needed human connection to homebound seniors. In some communities, additional services that keep seniors healthy and safe are also offered, like pet food delivery, senior center meal programs, home repair services and transportation. Each local program works with its own community’s needs and resources to provide a community-specific solution."
"Yes, this is a volunteer gig, not a standard social service provided by the government." Yang shook her head in dismay. "Sometimes, Earth really sucks, which we're isolated from in Fandom. We might have large apocalypses, but for people outside Fandom, sometimes every day is a crisis."
"The reality is that over nine million seniors in America struggle with hunger, fifteen million live in isolation, and eighteen million live in or near poverty. So today, we're going to try and do our best to help out a little bit."

Help Out!
For homes super-close to the volunteer site, Yang will use her motorcycle, and she's got a spare helmet if you want to ride with her!
Re: Help Out!
Three deliveries in, he was reevaluating his decision, the man he was riding along with shaking his head and laughing as Jon gave up trying to extricate himself from a conversation. Apparently he looked like he needed the food as much as the lady they were giving it to, and he was not going to get out of here without at least a lecture and a promise to eat when he was done.
