Editorial Roundup: Alabama Recent editorials from Alabama newspapers: ___ The Decatur Daily on a Meals on Wheels fundraiser: Each February, Community Action Partnership of North Alabama, with the assistance of The Decatur Daily, holds a fundraising appeal for its Meals on Wheels program. In 2019, the February appeal raised more than $21,000. In 2020, just before the coronavirus pandemic struck, it raised $26,966. The Meals on Wheels program faced unprecedented challenges though most of last year because of COVID-19, even as the elderly, infirm and otherwise homebound residents became even more dependent upon it for hot, nutritious meals. “A lot of the folks that we deliver meals to, even before the pandemic, are isolated often from family and from friends,” Sam Janis, who, with his wife Betty, has volunteered with Meals on Wheels since 2006, told The Daily. “The contact that we would have with folks is sometimes the only contact they have with another human during the day.”
