Serving Seniors: Councilman Keith Blackburn Volunteers with Meals-on-Wheels

Carlsbad Councilman Keith Blackburn volunteered with Meals-on-Wheels of Greater San Diego on Friday—delivering meals to local seniors.

Blackburn was one of more than 20 elected officials to take part in the Mayors for Meals Day.

Meals-on-Wheels of Greater San Diego delivers meals to more than 2,500 homebound seniors in the region each year. The organization delivers meals to 18 seniors in Carlsbad.

Debbie Case, CEO of Meals-on-Wheels of Greater San Diego, said this year’s event is one of the largest campaigns for the charity.

“We have over 20 government officials going out and delivering meals to the seniors that are homebound throughout the county,” she said.

“It gives them the opportunity to visit with our seniors and hear what they have to say, since they are the silent few that live in our community.”
