Volunteer Spotlight: Dave Long
Dave Long is a cherished volunteer of Meals on Wheels and has been with the organization for the past 10 years. Dave has lived in New Rochelle for 22 years with his wife and his three boys and is the Program Director of the School of Criminal Justice at Monroe College. Dave’s first experience with Meals on Wheels was when he was a kid and he would go on rides with his Uncle, who was a full-time volunteer. Dave eventually returned to the organization when his son needed to do community service for his bar mitzvah. The two enjoyed it so much that they continued to do it even after the community service hours were filled and were able to make personal connections with their clients. Then when Dave’s son had to head off to college, Dave continued to volunteer and has made it apart of his weekly routine ever since. A quote from Dave that gave an overview of his relationship with Meals On Wheels was, “On a personal level, no matter how my week went I can look forward to this hour or two and realize I did something good that week.”
