Updates and News

Meals on Wheels

Since 1973, St. Tim’s parishioners have put the Gospel into practice through serving

with Southern Anoka County Meals on Wheels. Despite the challenges of Covid-19

which have required adaptations, more than 60 parishioners served in this ministry

in 2020. Coordinators Tom Kosel and Janet Robidoux organize two teams of

volunteers who drive one-hour routes once every eight weeks to deliver meals to

people in their homes. One volunteer driver, Paul Hanzelka, chose to serve with

Meals on Wheels after seeing it listed in the annual time and talent survey. “I am still

able-bodied (thank God!) and like to drive. It serves those who are shut in and are in

need of a good meal,” he said. Volunteering with Meals on Wheels is just one of many

ways that our parishioners put faith into practice

through community service. If you are interested in

volunteering as Meals on Wheels driver, email

sttimothychurch@churchofsttimothy.com or call the

parish office to learn about joining in this ministry.
