SoDel Concepts team makes cookies for homebound seniors

To spread some sweet Christmas cheer to homebound seniors, chefs Jen Bradour and Maggie Williamson of SoDel Concepts got creative.

They are on the team that prepares meals at Fish On for more than 200 seniors served by Meals on Wheels Lewes-Rehoboth.

“We wanted to do something special this past holiday, so we organized a cookie drive,” said Bradour, who coordinates the SoDel Concepts Meals on Wheels program. “Since SoDel Concepts has 12 restaurants, we were hoping to get about 2,700 cookies – enough for each client to receive a dozen.”

Bradour and Williamson decorated a minivan in holiday finery and made the circuit from Lewes to Fenwick Island, gathering a total of 4,300 cookies which Meals on Wheels volunteers packaged at Fish On. On Christmas morning, each senior in the program received homemade cookies with their holiday meal.

“Our team went above and beyond,” Bradour said. “The seniors we serve were ecstatic to receive something special on Christmas morning, and I am still receiving notes of gratitude.”

Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, praised the chefs’ initiative. “I’m always proud of our work with Meals on Wheels Lewes-Rehoboth, but Jen and Maggie took it to the next level,” he said. “They had a great idea and were able to involve the whole company in doing something special for the seniors we serve.”
