Brandi Bryan Volunteer of the Quarter (July-September 2025)
Congratulations to Brandi Bryan, our Volunteer of the Quarter! Brandi has been a volunteer since 2023. Brandi was brought to Meals on Wheels, Etc. through the fortunate meeting at a table set up for AdventHealth’s corporate Christmas party where many community service partners were present. She met with Dawn, the Community Relations Coordinator, where she learned that she didn’t have to waituntil retirement to serve on a delivery route, AND Meals on Wheels, Etc. has so many other opportunities to serve outside of meal delivery.
Brandi shares her rewarding experience; “So many volunteer opportunities are the means to impacting the individual (food drives, meal packing, donations), but meal delivery allows us to see the person who we impact each day. It is a relationship we build with the clients that makes this volunteer experience different and rewarding”.
As most of our volunteers can attest to, relationships are developed with the clients. Recently one of the AdventhHealth clients could no longer live independently and moved to a skilled nursing facility. Our volunteer team missed seeing her and wanted to send a card to let her know she was thought about often. Instead of sending the card, three volunteers hand delivered the card and visited with our former client.
Brandi’s message to anyone who is thinking about volunteering is; “don’t let time or lack of available time be the reason to keep you from volunteering. You can make a difference.
