It doesn’t matter what your job is. It doesn’t matter what your training, education, or experience is. YOU can make a difference in your community. Beth Aker is currently the Director of East Pasco Meals on Wheels. But she had a vision to grow this organization to be more than a place that delivers meals to our Seniors.

They bought a new building, opening a much larger kitchen and food prep area, but also opening the Genesis Center—a true community center. In addition to that, they give away many TONS of food each year to 14+ food pantries around the region.

Before running the EPMOW, Beth was Postmaster at a very unique Post Office in San Antonio, FL. She also is a huge fan of the Golden Girls and shopping at thrift stores around the country!
