When Juli Ferrell's own mother could no longer drive herself to doctor's appointments, a low-cost transportation service called WellTran became a lifeline — now, just three weeks into her new role as Executive Director of Seniors First, Juli is bringing that same personal understanding to an organization that serves thousands of seniors across the Northern Shenandoah Valley. Janet sits down with Juli at the Seniors First offices in Front Royal to unpack everything the organization does — Meals on Wheels, WellTran transportation, senior centers, Medicare counseling, and scam prevention — across six jurisdictions. They talk food insecurity, an aging-population wave headed for Virginia by 2030, and how the upcoming Valley Venture Scavenger Hunt fundraiser could help shrink Meals on Wheels wait lists. Whether you or a loved one might need these services someday, or you're just looking for a new way to give back locally, this is a great primer on a nonprofit quietly doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Send us Fan MailThis is the third-most-listened-to episode of The Kindness Matters Podcast. A craft night with a few moms, a pile of extra gloves, and a simple desire to stay connected somehow turns into two coach buses packed with winter gear and volunteers. I'm joined by Michelle Christensen from Golden Valley, Minnesota, the founder of One Good Deed, to tell the story behind Scarf Bombing, a direct, practical kindness project that puts warmth where it's needed most across Minneapolis and St. Paul.Michelle walks me through the early days: asking friends and coworkers for hats, gloves, and scarves, then realizing the donations outgrew what shelters could store. We talk about the pivot from drop-offs to placing tagged items in parks where unsheltered neighbors actually live, the city permits that keep park staff from clearing the supplies, and the small detail that changes everything: a bright tag that says, “Take me, I'm not lost, I'm yours.” It's a powerful way to offer dignity and clarity at the same time.You'll also hear the human moments that stick with you, like a bus driver who asks to join the mission, the muffin handoff at a stoplight, and the unforgettable sight of a neon pink blanket “moving” because someone has already claimed it. From there, the kindness ripple spreads into a full nonprofit calendar, one good deed a month, including cards for seniors and Meals on Wheels, an International Women's Day showcase, community cleanups, Little Free Libraries, backpacks for unsheltered youth, blankets for kids, and comfort care for cancer patients.If you want to volunteer, donate, or simply remember that kindness still thrives, listen now and check out onegooddeed.org.

Chosen by Maff, directed and co-written by Sammo Hung, Wheels on Meals was a Hong Kong–Spanish co-production from Golden Harvest and Laurenfilm, filmed extensively on location around Barcelona and Tarragona. Reliable published budget figures are difficult to verify, but the international production gave the film a distinctive scale and sun-drenched European setting rarely seen in Hong Kong action cinema at the time. Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung reunited as the leading trio, supported by Spanish actress Lola Forner and American martial artists Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and Keith Vitali.Released in Hong Kong on 17 August 1984, the film became one of the territory's highest-grossing local releases of the year. Its combination of acrobatic stunt work, broad comedy and carefully staged martial-arts action helped establish it as a favourite of the VHS generation. Decades later, Wheels on Meals remains celebrated for the chemistry between its three stars and for delivering fight choreography clearly enough that viewers can actually see what is happening—an increasingly revolutionary concept.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the sun-soaked streets of Barcelona, two cousins have the perfect business: fast food, four wheels and absolutely no regard for workplace health and safety.But when a mysterious young pickpocket crosses their path, Thomas and David are dragged into a dangerous plot involving ruthless criminals, a missing inheritance and one remarkably questionable private detective.This time, the meals are fast. The fists are faster. And somewhere in Spain, an insurance company is quietly refusing to cover any of it.FUN FACTSThe film's original English title was reportedly Meals on Wheels, but Golden Harvest reversed the words after two previous company releases beginning with the letter “M” performed poorly.In Japan, the film was released under the title Spartan X.Jackie Chan also supervised the film's action choreography.Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had all trained together as members of the Seven Little Fortunes at the China Drama Academy.Lola Forner had previously represented Spain at the Miss World competition.Benny Urquidez was a highly successful professional kickboxer nicknamed “The Jet.”Chan and Urquidez's confrontation is frequently ranked by martial-arts cinema fans among Jackie Chan's finest screen fights.Keith Vitali reportedly struck Jackie Chan in the throat accidentally while filming one of their fight sequences.The catering van used by Thomas and David is fitted with hidden compartments, electronic gadgets and enough custom equipment to make it the kung-fu equivalent of the Batmobile.The three leading men later reunited for another major Hong Kong action comedy, Dragons Forever, released in 1988.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: International Skinny Dip Day, officially recognized by the American Association for Nude Recreation, has raised over $60,000 for the Fistula Foundation since 2019, funding surgery for about 96 women, with 571 participants at Blind Creek Nude Beach in Fort Pierce, Florida. In Rhode Island, Centerville Bank gave employees $100 gas gift cards, and many chose to donate them to Meals on Wheels to help cover fuel costs for its 26-car fleet. A 230-foot renewable-energy sailing yacht, Zero, launched in the Netherlands, using hydro generation, nearly 1,000 square feet of solar panels, wind power, and batteries to run up to two weeks. In Scotland, rescuers carried a sick Labrador, Tokyo, off a mountain; vets suspected cannabis edible ingestion. In British Columbia, a bear stole a golfer's clubs. 00:10 Skinny Dip Fundraiser01:04 Gas Cards Donated02:15 Renewable Yacht Launch03:02 Dog Mountain Rescue04:01 Bear Steals ClubsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/5-good-news-stories-happiness-and-fun--5747537/support.5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.

Recently, NC Newsline sat down with two staff members from the Wake County operation: Director of Development and Communications Sara Walker and main office Home Delivery Site Manager Melissa Evers.

Tonight, I'm excited to introduce you to some young difference makers who prove you're never too young to change someone's life. Joining me are Lennon Curtis, Irie Blade, and Camryn Curtis as they share the story behind Cousins for a Cause, a special effort that also included Miles Curtis, Mia, Lily, and Holly. Together, these cousins hosted a lemonade stand to benefit Meals on Wheels and the seniors it serves throughout the Shoals community. What started as a simple idea became an opportunity to teach children about compassion, generosity, and serving others. Even more inspiring, they're hoping the effort doesn't stop with them. Through their “Pass the Pitcher” challenge, they're encouraging other families, neighborhoods, teams, and organizations to host their own fundraisers and continue spreading kindness. I hope you'll join us for this encouraging conversation about small hands, big hearts, and the difference one family can make when they decide to serve others. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Lennon and Camryn Curtis, along with Irie Blade, as they share how a simple lemonade stand became an opportunity to help seniors in their community. Through Cousins for a Cause, the cousins came together to raise money for Meals on Wheels. Everyone had a role, from making lemonade and creating signs to pouring drinks, greeting customers, and explaining where every dollar would go. While they were a little nervous when the first customers arrived, that quickly turned into excitement as the very first donation was $20. Throughout the day, they were surprised not only by how many people stopped by, but by the generosity of those who gave more than the cost of a cup of lemonade. Now, these young difference-makers hope their effort inspires other families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, businesses, and community groups to pass the pitcher by creating their own lemonade stands to support causes that matter. Sometimes making a difference begins with something as simple as a pitcher of lemonade, willing hearts, & a community that cares.

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 14, 2026, was highlighted by a controversial budget reconsideration for public safety, a significant land-use decision in Rio Linda, and various community presentations and administrative approvals.   Budget Reconsideration: Sheriff's POP Team The most contentious item involved the reconsideration of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommended Budget specifically to address the Sheriff's Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team. Restoration of Funding: Following a 3-2 vote (with Supervisors Serna and Kennedy dissenting), the Board moved to restore approximately $3 million for the POP team by reducing the county's General Fund contingency. Public Debate: Business owners and community members strongly supported the restoration, arguing the POP team provides vital proactive crime prevention and addresses quality-of-life issues like illegal fireworks and encampments. Conversely, social service advocates and community organizers opposed the move, arguing that the budget should prioritize the "social safety net"—including foster youth services and mental health—rather than "bloated" law enforcement budgets. Procedural Context: The Board emphasized that a broader discussion on the final budget, including the potential restoration of other cut programs like Birth and BEYOND, will occur during the September budget revision.
 Planning and Land Use: Chandra Commons The Board held a public hearing regarding the Chandra Commons Apartments in Rio Linda, focusing on a request to remove 2007 zoning conditions that required the site to be developed as "for-sale" units (condominiums). Developer's Argument: The applicant argued that for-sale units are no longer financially feasible due to high construction costs and a lack of market comparables in the area. Community Opposition: Numerous residents opposed the shift to rental apartments, citing concerns over high density, increased traffic on Dry Creek Road, potential property value decreases, and environmental contaminants from the site's former use as a wrecking yard. Decision: Despite Supervisor Rodriguez's motion to deny the request to protect homeownership opportunities, the Board voted 3-1 to support the staff recommendation, effectively removing the "for-sale" requirement and allowing the developer to proceed with market-rate rentals. Consent Calendar and Administrative Highlights Election Certification: During public comments on the consent calendar, several residents questioned election integrity and non-citizen voting. The Registrar of Voters clarified that all registrations are vetted through a statewide database that confirms citizenship via DMV and Social Security records before information ever reaches the county level.
 Impact Fee Offset Program: A proposal to expand this program for affordable housing was continued to July 28 to allow for the participation of the full Board, as Supervisors Rodriguez and Hume expressed concerns about using General Fund dollars to subsidize private developers during a deficit. Airport Improvements: The Board approved architectural amendments for the Sacramento International Airport, leading to a discussion on finding "efficiencies of scale" by seeking volume discounts for major equipment maintenance, such as chillers, across all county facilities. Mental Health: The Board approved the expansion of school-based mental health programs to 35 additional school sites. Public Hearings and Departmental Reports One-Year Action Plan (HUD): Staff presented the 2027 plan for federal entitlement funding (CDBG/HOME), which estimates $6.55 million for projects focusing on ADA park improvements, pedestrian safety (e.g., safe routes to schools), and senior services like Meals on Wheels. Sacramento Welcome Home: The Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (DCFAS) provided its quarterly report on temporary foster youth stays, noting a stabilization in operations and zero staff injuries this quarter due to enhanced training and a proactive partnership with the Sheriff's Department. Service Assessments: The Board approved annual service charges for Zone 3 mobility programs and Landscape Maintenance District Zone 4, despite a "no" vote from Supervisor Rodriguez regarding the use of road funds to supplement the landscape district's budget gap. Community Recognitions The meeting included a presentation for Parks and Recreation Month, highlighting a new $25 summer annual pass for families. The Board also recognized Probation Supervision Week, with staff and supervisors sharing stories of the department's positive impact on rehabilitation and community safety.   The meeting was adjourned at 6:14 p.m.

Buckle up for a high-octane Friday edition of What's On Your Mind. Scott Hennen handles technical glitches from the road while driving his custom red, white, and blue 2026 GMC truck to a family reunion in Minot. U.S. Senator Kevin Kramer stops by for a hard-hitting Talk Radio Town Hall covering escalating global kinetic conflicts, military deterrence, and a local historical celebration. The conversation then shifts to the listeners, who take over the microphone as guest hosts. The Fargo-Moorhead community sounds off on a massive neighborhood safety concern: the explosive proliferation of high-speed e-bikes and motorized scooters operating on public sidewalks without helmets or regard for traffic laws. Later, the show highlights local organizations changing lives in North Dakota. We hear how Meals on Wheels is keeping seniors independent, and how the Legacy Children's Foundation is achieving a staggering 97% high school graduation rate among New American youth. Finally, Fargo native Nick Hall calls in to preview the massive Faith and Family Night closing out the Red River Valley Fair. Standout Moments & Timestamps Masterful Ceasefire Strategy: Senator Kevin Kramer breaks down the tactical breakdown of the Middle East conflict, explaining how the U.S. leveraged a temporary ceasefire to gather intelligence and dismantle rogue communication networks while rebuilding its own defense stockpiles. The CDL Over-Correction Trap: A frustrated farmer from Clifford, ND, calls the town hall to report an absurd bureaucratic bottleneck: the state only issued two commercial driver's licenses in June because local farm kids are failing tests due to irrelevant, overly complex trick questions meant to filter out foreign drivers. The World War II Heritage City: Senator Kramer honors Valley City, North Dakota—the smallest city in America to receive this prestigious National Park Service designation—highlighting its historical V-12 Navy officer training program and local homefront sacrifice. Sidewalk Speed Demons: Scott acts as a sounding board for frantic local motorists and neighbors demanding new city ordinances to regulate motorized e-bikes traveling up to 50 mph down neighborhood walkways. The 1930s Temperature Check: A caller from Aberdeen injects some historical perspective into the modern climate alarmism debate, reminding listeners that the highest temperatures ever recorded in the Dakotas (115°F and 120°F) occurred during the Dust Bowl era of the late 1920s and 1933. Building The Golden Fleet: Regular contributor Crystal draws a fascinating parallel between Theodore Roosevelt's historic "Great White Fleet" and the modern U.S. military strategy under the current…

This episode is all over the place in the best way. We get into the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, the nationwide Cyclospora diarrhea outbreak (you're welcome), Bryan Johnson's autoimmune gastritis diagnosis, the Tyler Robinson trial, Wimbledon influencer backlash, and the insane story of a student who had to land a plane after the pilot jumped out mid-flight.Then we get to the main event: The Great Influencer Reassignment. After watching one too many painfully self-important influencer videos, I officially become America's career counselor and assign influencers jobs that actually serve other people. From airport wheelchair assistants to Meals on Wheels volunteers, 911 dispatchers, search and rescue teams, air traffic controllers, and more, we're finding careers this country could actually use, while still letting them film content if they absolutely must share their new career online.Plus, neighborhood drama, my birthday recap, World Cup updates, and a rant about shopping at Target.

A Clare community services provider that suffered a break-in last week says staff are "devastated" by the incident which they've branded as "unfair". Obair on the Ennis Road in Newmarket-on-Fergus was burgled in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, with the perpetrators absconding with approximately €600 in cash. The service operates a Meals on Wheels service which caters to over 300 people five days a week, while the building also contains a creche, an afterschool and post-primary programme, remote working hubs, a youth café and an environmental section. Siobhan Griffin, who works for Obair, says the burglary is particularly upsetting in the context of the positive work the organisation does in the community.

Brenda Burns from the Newport Senior Center & Sullivan County Meals On Wheels program is here with Tiffany Eddy with Revo Casino as we talk about the partnership between Meals on Wheels and Revo from now until 7/9/26, what to expect at Revo, this is not all the funding Meals on Wheels need, and lots more.

Volunteers are being sought for a popular meals on wheels service expanding into North Clare. Obair has announced that its Inagh route is being extended into Ennistymon in response to demand. Established in Newmarket-on-Fergus over 20 years ago, the Obair Meals on Wheels service also has bases in Kilrush and Lisdoonvarna, and is planning to move into East Clare this summer. Service Coordinator with Obair, Eimear Murphy, says the more volunteers they have on their roster, the better the service can function.

In this episode of Voices in Leadership, host Melissa Andrews, president and CEO of LeadingAge Virginia, talks with Laura Lamb and Megan Bradford of Episcopal Retirement Services (ERS) about the organization's evolution and its growing commitment to serving older adults across the full economic continuum. The conversation explores ERS's 75-year history, its expansion from a single retirement community to a multi-state organization with life plan communities, affordable living campuses, and community-based programs including Meals on Wheels and memory support services.Laura and Megan also discuss ERS's focus on serving the “middle market” — older adults who have too many resources to qualify for affordable housing but not enough to access traditional life plan communities. They explain how personal family experiences helped shape the initiative and outline ERS's approach, including no entrance fees, service coordination instead of heavy staffing models, and pricing designed to remain attainable for middle-income older adults. The episode also highlights ERS's servant leadership culture, emphasis on internal growth and promotions, the importance of strategic partnerships, and why providers should stop simply “musing” about middle market solutions and start testing new models in their own communities.Voices in Leadership is produced by Association Briefings.

In New York State, she helped create programs from the ground up—from nutrition services and Meals on Wheels to case management and family support.

[DONATE to NMCAA] This episode highlights the impact and community support behind the Meals on Wheels program through the Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency. The program serves seniors and homebound individuals by delivering nutritious meals along with wellness checks, social interaction, and emotional support—often the only daily contact some clients receive. Meals are carefully planned with dietitians to meet federal nutrition guidelines, accommodate health conditions (like diabetes), and reflect client preferences. The emphasis is on meals being both healthy and enjoyable, recognizing that “food is medicine” but must also be appealing to be effective. Beyond food, the program provides a “360-degree” service—ensuring safety, reducing isolation, and fostering dignity for seniors. It relies heavily on community partnerships, volunteers, and funding, with only about 30% coming from government sources and the rest raised locally. A major fundraising effort, “Moomers for Meals,” brings the community together through a family-friendly ice cream event, sponsorships, and campaigns to support the program's growing financial needs amid rising costs and uncertain funding. Overall, the episode emphasizes that Meals on Wheels is more than food—it's connection, care, and community, ensuring seniors can remain healthy, independent, and supported.

In this episode, I'm opening up about something incredibly close to my heart: the power of service and how it has shaped my life through both joy and unimaginable loss. I share my early experiences volunteering with Meals on Wheels, the years I spent serving in Haiti with Haitian Roots, and the profound shift that happened after losing my 14-year-old son, Gage. In the middle of grief, I watched his friends search for comfort and it became clear that we needed to help them channel their pain into purpose. That moment became the beginning of the Gage Schroeder Compassion Foundation. You'll hear how we created a compassion-based curriculum for teens and elementary students, started Compassion Clubs across the country, and awarded nearly $80,000 in scholarships over the past eight years. I also talk about rebuilding after divorce, moving back to Utah, and how serving alongside kids continues to bring healing, purpose, and connection into my life.   Resources: The Meeting Place Membership Rock The Reels 1:1 Coaching Free Client Welcome Guide Additional Trainings and Resources Connect with Brittni: Follow me on the Gram - @brittni.schroeder Join my Facebook Group  Visit my website Subscribe to my Youtube You can find the complete show notes here: https://brittnischroeder.com/podcast/finding-healing-through-service
