Stories From Our Community
At 93, Beverly has stories worth slowing down for.
She grew up in North Dakota, where the snowdrifts climbed past the second story of her family’s home and getting to the road meant carving a path through the barn. One winter when she was five or six, a blizzard came through while her father was out milking the cows. Her mother lit kerosene lamps and set them in the window facing the barn, then stood in the doorway and waited.
California weather suits her better these days, and she likes being close to her daughter. Beverly has been part of Meals on Wheels in Placer County for more than a decade, and she’ll tell you the visit matters as much as the meal. “I just count on the person coming with the meal and talking with them,” she says. Sometimes she passes along news to her neighbors afterward.
There’s more to her story, including a career in medicine and a stretch working in an ambulance that surprises almost everyone.
Kaiser Permanente Lends a Hand
During National Volunteer Week this spring, a team from Kaiser Permanente spent a morning at our Rocklin location bagging groceries for homebound seniors across Placer County.
Every bag they filled becomes something practical and something more. It’s food on the shelf for a neighbor who can’t easily get to the store, and it’s a reminder that someone in the community was thinking of them.
Thank you to the team at Kaiser Permanente. If your workplace would like to spend a morning with us, we’d love to hear from you.
