Volunteer Violet Reichert helps Emmy Edge of Milton load her vehicle. Edge of Milton has been delivering for Operation Christmas CHEER for five years.
Ready to pick up their packages to deliver for Operation Christmas CHEER are Marie Meshok, left, and Karen Brown, both of Georgetown.
Loading gifts and meals are (l-r) Sen. Dave Wilson, R-Bridgeville, and volunteers Nicole Shirey and Paige Shirey.
For more than 25 years, CHEER has been sponsoring Operation Christmas CHEER to provide a nutritious meal plus a gift for each senior client on Christmas Day.
This year, volunteers served nearly 250 seniors. At one time, vehicles were lined up out to Bedford Street in front of the Adams State Service Center in Georgetown as Operation Christmas CHEER volunteers waited to have their vehicles loaded curbside. By 11 a.m. Dec. 25, all gifts and meals had been picked up and were on the way to homebound seniors in Sussex County.
