Aaron welcomes Marc Pons of Chapel Hill Tire and Sara Walker of Meals on Wheels Wake County to discuss their partnership, why it’s an important part of Chapel Hill Tire’s mission, and why it will be vital for Meals on Wheels’ drivers (hundreds of them) as they work diligently to provide food and human connections to area residents in need.
