B4 THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2019 Santa for Seniors program now underway Chowan Senior Center will be accepting donations BY PETER WILLIAMS Perquimans Weekly The Albemarle Commis sion is gearing up to make Christmas brighter, espe cially for some seniors that may spend the holiday week alone. The Santa For Seniors program started to serve older adults who receive home-delivered meals from the commission and who live alone with no family or friends nearby, said Ashley Lamb, an aging programs specialist for the Area Agency on Aging. “We deliver meals Mon day through Friday, but for the week of Christmas we shut down our meals pro gram,” Lamb said. “We do provide those people with shelf stable meals they can eat during the week, but for many they may not see another person for that whole week during Christ mas because we’re not de livering food,” Lamb said. Last year, there were 40 people in the 10-county area that were in the home food program and also didn’t have family. Nine of those were Perquimans County residents. For those, the commis sion has the “Adopt” a home bound senior pro gram. It will be collecting personalized gifts. The presents will be delivered by Santa himself. Last year in Chowan County, a church adopted a mother and son who lived together and through their efforts, Santa was able to deliver seven bags of gifts for them. “There was food, cloth ing, blanks, adult diapers, a lot of things,” Lamb said. “They had some extreme needs and the people didn’t know it was coming. Our staff already knew what those individuals needed so it was a com plete surprise. They were in tears.” There was a bittersweet ending to the story how ever.

I saw that the Edenton Farmer’s Market will have its first collards of the season as the local farmers begin that harvest as well. Darryl Stallings of Back 40 Produce has fresh cut collards as well as other cool weather vegetables such as kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts. Food Lion always has collards available, too, as well as a few other farm stands in the area. Collards are a staple in South ern cuisine and have been for generations. But these greens are not a domestic plant to the U.S. and came by ship with early colonists. CoL lards are an an cient vegetable and early archeo logical evidence shows early Greek and Romans eating collards. I doubt that early man had the same flair that a COLUMNIST CHERYL ORR southern kitchen has with this leafy green mem ber of the broc coli family. Col lards are ex tremely tasty when done right, as well as ex tremely good for you. Collard greens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, folate, and fiber. These greens are an antioxidant with a wealth of beta- carotene.
