The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is seeking volunteers to help with the Meals on Wheels program in the Lehighton area.

These volunteers are badly needed to deliver prepared meals to recipients along a specific route. The meals are sometimes the only nutritious meal the homebound person receives and they help ensure the health and well being of that person.Area residents are asked to consider joining the Meals on Wheels team of caring people and make a difference in the lives of the people in the local community.For more information, call the RSVP office at (610) 377-2010 or email
