What started out as a small act of kindness for a Mon Valley middle school student has grown into a much larger operation thatâs spreading love throughout the regionâs most vulnerable population. After his summer basketball program was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 14-year-old Patrick Weldon, of Monongahela, decided to use his free time to volunteer with Meals on Wheels. He and his mother, Alexis Weldon, delivered meals to about 23 homes in their community for months. âI pretty much realized that most of the people we delivered meals to are in wheelchairs or not very mobile,â Patrick said in a recent interview. âThey stay in their homes pretty much 24/7.â
