Impact in Rapid City

Meals on Wheels – Western SD-Meals on Wheels Western South Dakota

From a Rapid City senior that relies on Meals on Wheels because she can no longer prepare her own meals. “I was talking to one of our participants at today. She said she had 17 brothers, and she was the only girl so she learned to cook for the family at an early age. I said, “What?! 17 brothers?” She said her mom was only pregnant 5 times and that she was a twin, but her sister was still born. Then she said she had one aunt that had 19 kids, and another that had 21. She has 5 sets of twins herself! She said her family is in the World Book of Records for multiple births! She also mentioned that she used to cook for 800 people at a Mission in Biloxi.” The United Way is allowing her community to care for her after so many years of her caring for others.
