It is that time of year again! On Friday, September 16th, Lubbock Meals on Wheels will have our Big Wheels Deliver Meals promotion. For the twentieth year, Lubbock Meals on Wheels and Sonic Restaurants have teamed up for this event in an attempt to raise public awareness and involve local celebrities in our mission, helping people remain at home, well fed, and independent. On this day, local “Big Wheels” volunteer their lunch hour to deliver a Lubbock Meals on Wheels’ route and are chauffeured on the route in a classic or unique car generously supplied and driven by area car club members and local individuals. Sonic Restaurants graciously donates more than 800 meals to feed all of the recipients, as well as, provide lunch for the celebrities and drivers. It is a treat for our recipients to be visited by these important people, see the various cars, and enjoy a special lunch of a “Sonic” hamburger and tots.
Lubbock Meals on Wheels serves meals to over 700 homebound, elderly, and disabled people each weekday. We have 54 routes with 10-16 stops on each route. The drivers and volunteers will leave from their assigned Sonic Restaurant location between 10:45 and 11:00 a.m. and each route takes about one hour. After the delivery, all drivers and celebrities are invited to the Lubbock Meals on Wheels’ office for a complimentary lunch also provided by Sonic Restaurants.
