Peace Meal continues its return to the routine of central Illinois seniors as COVID concerns ease.

Shelly Tolley with Peace Meal says this is the time of the year when many seniors may be taking a pause from the program because of travel plans and it's simply a good time for easier mobility. 

Peace Meal is in need of volunteers. Tolley explains there are several capacities a volunteer could make a difference. She points to drivers who could volunteer for roughly an hour a week or a volunteer could help at congregate sites.

Tolley offers an update on moving into northern Piatt County and eastern DeWitt County. In Farmer City, it is a restaurant program while in DeLand they are only able to do home-delivered meals.

Those interested in signing up for Peace Meal or volunteering can call 309-665-5900 or 833-923-3905.
