‘It just blesses your heart’
Meals program dishes up
Expres
food and a lot of caring
BY ANDIE L. BRYMER :
Staff Writer
Area churches are dishing up com-
passion and putting caring on the
menu.
Christian Freedom's senior Sunday
“school class delivers meals to home-
bound folks on Thursdays. Central
United Methodist operates a communi-
ty kitchen two days a week with help
from volunteers representing several
area congregations.
At Christian Freedom Greg Moore
started the meal program three years
ago. When he became choir director,
the seniors continued on their own.
Participants cook food at their homes
then gather at the church to pack the
styrofoam boxes for delivery.
Volunteers climb into the church van
and take the food to 14 area residents.
Many of the folks who get a meal are
not Christian Freedom members.
Instead, the group has heard about
many of its recipients by word of
mouth.
One elderly woman pins her curtain
open and waits for the group, said vol-
unteer Helen Wells. It’s not just a
warm meal that the recipients look for-
ward to. The group has a short visit
then they gather in a circle to pray.
“A lot say that means more than the
food,” Wells said.
Wells, who volunteers with her hus-
band Boyce, said the loneliness some
elderly feel breaks her heart. She is
grateful for the chance to reach out.
“It just blesses your heart so much,”
Wells said.
Central United Methodist has
expanded its community kitchen from
a Monday lunch to include dinner on
Thursday evenings. Between 25 to 40
people are showing up for the
Thursday meal which is served from 5
to 6:30 p.m. ;
Those hours will change to 4 to 5:30
p.m. this week for a Thanksgiving din-
ner. Volunteers are cooking enough for
250 people.
Between 60 and 80 people visit the
church for lunch on Mondays from
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and another 100-
plus meals are delivered to the home-
bound. The Thursday meal targets chil-.
dren and teens. Volunteers are recruit-
ing teachers to help young diners with
homework.
Donations come from FEMA, the
United Way, Second Harvest Food
Bank, Harris Teeter, Food Lion and
Morris Milling.
Volunteers say the people they serve
are appreciative.
“I haven't seen a single person not
clean their plate,” Casey Durham said.

It’s time to renew my
® insurance for my car
® and | want to know
(2). what this coverage
.does as well as what you
would recommend?
This is one of the best
A: times to look into
® changing your coverage
and to make sure that you are
adequately protected.
Everyone in North Carolina is
required to carry the “minimum
limits” in liability coverage. This
coverage is to protect other driv-
ers on the road when you may
be negligent. Minimum limits
in North Carolina are $30,000
. per individual and $60,000 per
accident. The $60,000 per acci-
dent limitation means that if a
number of people are in a car
that you negligently hurt, the
total amount of coverage from
your insurance company would
be $60,000 to be divided by
everybody that was injured in
the wreck.
How liability coverage you actu-
ally need depends on what
assets you actually have and
how much you can afford to
pay for the coverage. One inter-
esting aspect about the payment
is that the most of the cost of
insurance is in the first liability
minimum limits coverage and
doubling your coverage would
not double your premium. Talk
to your insurance agent about
costs for upgrading your policy
if you have minimum limits.
What you are protecting is your
assets in that, if you cause injury
to someone, you may be sued
and found liable for those dam-
ages, you would then be subject
to having a judgement placed
against you and assets potential
ly taken by execution on that
judgment.
The next kind of coverage avail-

able is Med-Pay coverage. This
coverage pays only medical bills
that you receive from an injury
involving a motor vehicle. This
coverage applies no matter who
was at fault for the wreck and
helps cover out of pocket med-
ical expenses. This coverage can
be bought in different amounts
and is also a fairly inexpensive
coverage to add to your policy.
This coverage would apply to all
the individuals in your vehicle if
you are involved in a wreck. It is
typically available in amounts of
$500, $1000, $2000, $5000
and up.
North Carolina also provides
for un-insured motorists and
under-insured motorists cover-
~ age. Un-insured motorists cov-
erage protects you and the occu-
pants of your vehicle or the
members of your family living
with you, if you are in a wreck
and someone else is at fault who
does not have automobile insur-
ance.
Under-insured motorists cover-
age provides coverage is the
other person does not have
enough insurance coverage to
cover all your damages from a
wreck. This often is the case
when someone has minimum
coverage and causes significant
injuries to one or more people.
We have handled claims where
people injured had medical bills
in excess of $800,000 and only
minimum coverage was avail-
able. The defendant had no
assets.
This coverage is only available if
you purchase more than the
minimum coverage of liability
insurance. These are the three or
four main types of coverage that
individuals should assess there
risks and determine what type
of coverage they need when dis-
cussing their new insurance pol-
icy with their agent.
