Mayors For Meals

On March 22, Mayor Annise Parker joined Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston's Meals on Wheels to deliver meals to home-bound seniors in Houston. Mayor Parker joined thousands of other mayors and elected officials across the nation as they took part in 'Mayors for Meals' a national campaign to help raise awareness about senior hunger.

Ninety-six year-old Lurline is one of the seniors that Mayor Parker visited for Mayors For Meals. "I'm unable to cook," she said, "the food is real good, I love it."

Another senior Mayor Parker visited was Alice. "My meals are healthy," Alice said, "The meals help me out a lot, I can’t do too much cooking. I am on oxygen, I get short of breath."

Johnnie loves the meals and everyone who delivers the food. "They are beautiful.Very nice people. No complaints, I greet them with a smile and they greet me with a smile," she said.
