Mary Smith, 58, of Locust, works as a volunteer for the local meal delivery service, driving meals out to those in her community who are elderly and rendered immobile due to old age and health problems. She has been taking meals to the family for about a year and a half, and plans to do so until she is in their position herself.

“I don’t look for no pay, just their smile on their faces is enough for me.”
