As many tips as we give out here, it is very important to remember those around us who cannot perform some of the tasks that we recommend. For example, the elderly and the disabled are not often able to install smoke alarms, clean their dryer lint or the myriad of other things that need to be done to prevent fires.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has partnered with the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) to provide many of these services to the elderly and the disabled. If you would like to help the MOWAA and the IAFC with those programs, I would encourage you to get in touch with them to see what can be done in your area.
The bottom line is we need to take care of the most vulnerable among us. We just might be saving someone’s life. Also, someone else might be saving a person you love one day. Take some time to help out today.
