Boyden Kiwanians thought it would be a nice gesture to present the elderly, the widowed/widower, and shut-ins with Boyden connections to present them with a fruit platter as a reminder that someone still cares for them.

Those who receive the fruit platter around Thanksgiving express their deepest appreciation for being remembered.

From this project, a meals-on-wheels community-wide program was started in conjunction with the First Reformed Church, St. John's Lutheran Church and the United Presbyterian Church. The meals-on-wheel program is no longer in existence, but the Thanksgiving fruit platter shows that other good things can come from an idea.
