At Nourish Meals on Wheels, our mission to serve older adults with nutritious meals, kindness, and connection wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated leadership of our Board of Directors. This incredible group of volunteers works behind the scenes to guide, support, and strengthen our organization, ensuring we continue to grow and serve our community effectively.
One of those key leaders is Sue Palmer, our Board President, whose passion for service and commitment to helping older adults thrive drives everything she does.
Why Sue Serves
For Sue, being part of Nourish is more than just a leadership role—it’s a deeply personal and fulfilling experience.
"My involvement with Nourish fills my tank. I always get back more than I give. When I'm out delivering meals, I'm greeted with grateful smiles, thank yous, hugs, jokes, and recently a gift of wildflower seeds to plant in my garden. I don't always get gifts, but I always come home with a full heart."
This sense of connection and purpose is what fuels so many of our volunteers and leaders. It’s not just about the meals—it’s about the relationships, the moments of kindness, and the shared joy that come from serving others.
What Does the Board of Directors Do?
While volunteers and staff carry out the daily work of preparing and delivering meals, the Board of Directors plays a crucial role in Nourish’s long-term success. Their responsibilities include:
✔️ Providing Strategic Leadership – Setting goals and ensuring the organization stays focused on its mission.
✔️ Financial Oversight & Fundraising – Helping secure resources to keep our meal programs running.
✔️ Community Advocacy – Spreading awareness and building connections to strengthen support for Nourish.
✔️ Ensuring Sustainability – Making key decisions that allow us to grow and continue serving those in need.
