Volunteers Needed!!! The local Meals-On-Wheels is supported by several churches in the Fridley-Columbia Heights-SLP area, including St. Williams. The program, located in Unity Hospital, provides wholesome lunches to the elderly and shut-ins in our area. Volunteers from St. Williams drive and deliver one week every other month, on a 9-week cycle. A volunteer covers one route, requiring about 1 ½ hours, each day. Some volunteer for a single day, others have time to do an entire week. Whatever you can do is a big help. We have barely enough people to cover the routes, and most have been volunteering for years. We need a few more volunteers. Can you help? Contact Frank UPCOMING EVENT : MARK YOUR C ALENDAR PALM SUNDAY RESPECT LIFE BAKE SALE April 13/14 at all masses. Baked items are still needed.
