Big Wheels Deliver Meals: Lubbock Meals on Wheels and Sonic Team Up for Celebrity Deliveries - KCBD

The partnership puts recognizable faces on actual LMOW delivery routes for one lunch hour. The twist is the ride: local car owners and car club members show up with their classic and unique vehicles to chauffeur the volunteer "Big Wheels" from stop to stop, turning a routine meal drop-off into something recipients might actually talk about for a while.

For the homebound seniors and adults who depend on LMOW deliveries, this is not just a meal. It is a visit, a moment of contact, and on this particular Friday, maybe a look at a well-preserved muscle car idling in the driveway. The event also puts the organization's work in front of people who might not think about food insecurity until they see someone they recognize carrying a tray to a neighbor's door.

Organizers are still looking for participants. Lubbock locals with a classic car or a public profile have until the end of August to get involved.

Meals on Wheels programs nationally report that many of their clients say the daily delivery is the only time anyone knocks on their door.
