A Meals on Wheels driver took it upon himself to address a problem he kept seeing over and over again on his route: homes with little or no address number signage.
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio — After volunteering with Meals on Wheels for quite some time, Bruce Wilson took it upon himself to address a problem he kept seeing over and over again on his route: homes with little or no address number signage.
"You don’t think about it," Wilson said."You’re never looking for your home. A lot of us put [the address numbers] on our mailbox, but we don't realize someone unfamiliar may have trouble finding it. To me, the most important thing is in the middle of night if I need to call for help a first responder can find my home in minutes and not knock on the wrong door."
After a home is nominated, Wilson said he will reach out to the homeowner and discuss if it's something they would like. "A lot of times cars would go by," she explained."I run next door and get the packages and bring them over here.""I think it’s going to look good here," Bruck smiled.
