“My parents wanted a better chance at life in California, so they moved us from Arkansas when I was two years old. I’m the youngest of six kids so my brothers and sisters helped me out a lot, but my parents made sure I wasn’t a spoiled brat. Both my parents were ministers, so that taught me a lot about right and wrong.”

– Lee Hendrix

Lee connected with SOS (Service Opportunity for Seniors), the community-based nonprofit that provides meals on wheels in Oakland, Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Castro Valley. SOS’s Coordinator visited Lee at home, and then set up the meal delivery.
