Halloween characters deliver treats for Meals on Wheels

[November 04, 2022]  On Monday, in honor of Halloween, volunteers of the Meals on Wheels Senior Nutrition program administered by the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois delivered meals in costume.

Volunteer Tonita Reifsteck routinely delivers meals for the program. On Monday, she was dressed as a witch and called herself the witch driving the broom. Misty Nieman, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, joined her on her deliveries.

Reifsteck and Nieman reported that the day was filled with smiles as the recipients of the meal deliveries were delighted by the appearance of Little Red Riding Hood and the witch. The two ladies heard many comments, from "It's not every day that Little Red Riding Hood brings me my meals!" to "Made my day" and "So cute!"

Some of the people visited wanted to have their picture taken in a "selfie" with Little Red Riding Hood. And the Halloween character delivered "Ghost Treats" to each person she visited.
