Bennie & Elaine's Story




Bennie & Elaine have been married close to 30 years. Elaine has lived in Houston for 35 years and Bennie is a native Houstonian. They met one day when Elaine was riding a horse. Bennie said, “Hello,” and Elaine likewise and they been together ever since. As they became older it started to get more difficult for them to cook and take care of themselves. “We have a hard time walking. If it wasn’t for Meals on Wheels I don’t know what we do. We don’t have a car to go to store. We don’t have a lot of money.”
Bennie & Elaine have received Meals on Wheels for two years. Both are appreciative for all of Meals on Wheels services. “First Christmas with Meals on Wheels they brought us some presents. If it wasn’t for Meals on Wheels we wouldn’t have nothing in the house to eat.” As homebound seniors with no transportation and limited income, Bennie & Elaine appreciates your donations and gifts.
