Jerry Lichstein is among the 120 volunteers delivering 50,000 kosher meals annually to approximately 2,500 low income, homebound seniors in Palm Beach County as part of MorseLife’s Meals-on-Wheels (MOW) program. A volunteer for nearly 10 years, Jerry delivers meals to eight to 14 people each week and has come to know the people on his route. He has continued to deliver the meals during COVID, when MorseLife saw a 20% increase in MOW requests, and always leaves the people he sees with something positive to brighten their day. In addition, he volunteers to deliver special meals for the Jewish holidays and has been a server at MorseLife holiday luncheons for underprivileged seniors. A retired administrator for Board of Education in New York, he volunteered with the West Palm Beach Police Department for 15 years and has been an active member of the mentoring program for 16 years.
