After the coronavirus pandemic led to the shutdown of the Miami Lakes Elderly Affairs Committee’s weekly bingo luncheons, Committee Chair Dottie Wix organized distributions of meals provided by restaurants in town for those who can drive and pick up their meals. The Freebee delivers lunches to those who are housebound. Sponsored by the Town of Miami Lakes, the volunteers seek to relieve hunger and loneliness among Miami Lakes’ senior citizens. On Jan. 27, 137 people enjoyed pies from Pizza Scene and cupcakes from LA Sweetz bakery, both on Main Street.
