Julie Dorney 
Volunteer of the Quarter (April-June 2024)

Congratulations to Julie Dorney, Volunteer of the Quarter. Julie has been a volunteer for two years as part of the Neighborhood Dining Program. She volunteers twice a month at the Casselberry site. On Tuesday she assists the clients with activities, serving lunch, etc and on Friday, she brings in her therapy dog, Zeppelin for the clients to love on.

Julie’s interest in Meals on Wheels started through a connection she had with a lady who was receiving daily meals from us. See saw how much the services meant to her, which led Julie here to us to volunteer.

Julie enjoys the interaction with the clients, staff and other volunteers at the site and is grateful to participate each week because of the harmonious vibe shared at the site.

One of her favorite things is when she sees Henry (aka Kid Chocolate) smiling as he hands her his amazing artwork of the week. She has a collection of his artwork at home. Henry is very special to Julie and her hope is that she brings as much joy to his life and he does to hers.

Julie encourages others to volunteer because it’s a win-win for everyone. Julies wins each time she goes by learning from their wisdom, insight and the laughter. Congratulations Julie! We appreciate you!
