Wichita County proclaims March 2026 'Meals on Wheels Month,' honors Mary Davila as employee of the month
Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Wichita County Commissioners Court read a proclamation recognizing March as Meals on Wheels Month, heard program representatives describe service and volunteer numbers, and presented an employee-of-the-month award to Mary (Maria) Davila for work clearing traffic-ticket warrant backlogs.
The Wichita County Commissioners Court on March 3 read a proclamation declaring March 2026 as Meals on Wheels Month and invited local program leaders to speak about the nonprofit's countywide services.
The proclamation noted Meals on Wheels Wichita has provided services in the county for more than 59 years and urged community support through state and local funding, volunteerism and charitable donations. Jackie Hamm, who identified herself as CEO, and other representatives described the program's scope and volunteer contribution.
"We delivered almost 7,000 meals just outside of Wichita Falls," a Meals on Wheels representative said, adding that the organization prepared roughly 319,000 meals overall and that about 222,000 of those were home deliveries handled by volunteers outside city limits. The proclamation also referenced more than 250,000 meals served to local seniors in 2025 as a program milestone.
The court also recognized Mary (Maria) Davila as Wichita County employee of the month for February 2026. Judge Woodruff described Davila's role coordinating warrants for traffic tickets and said Davila worked every day last year to clear a backlog of thousands of outstanding tickets that had accumulated.
"We are completely caught up," Judge Woodruff said, citing Davila's sustained effort and thanking her for helping keep county tax rates lower than they otherwise might be.
Commissioners encouraged residents to volunteer with Meals on Wheels and promoted an upcoming Community Champions Day; staff also took photographs with honorees during the presentation.
No formal votes were required for the proclamation or employee recognition.
