The volunteers arrive at the loading dock at the north end of the Millennium Student Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis around 10 a.m. each morning.
There are usually four or five of them, and they gather the biodegradable fiber containers of food waiting for them in the stainless-steel hot box and load them into their cars along with brown paper sacks packed with bread, butter, a milk carton, a dessert or pieces of fruit.
Each volunteer will transport up to eight meals per day to homes around the greater Normandy area as part of the Meals on Wheels of Greater St. Louis program. As many as 35 area residents will receive meals in a given day.
