Meals on the move | Meals on Wheels

For seven years Arvid Tougas has been delivering meals to residents on the east side of Brainerd.

A retired IBM employee from Rochester with roots in the Brainerd area, the rural Brainerd resident saw a notice in the St. Mathias Catholic Church bulletin seven years ago advertising for drivers at the Lutheran Social Services Senior Nutrition program.

As Tougas delivered each of his meals last week, he announces himself at the door. Sometimes a smiling person greets him and thanks him for the meal.
