Shell Deer Park Spreads Holiday Cheer

Shell Deer Park employees and family members joined Deer Park High School students Dec. 10 to share the holiday spirit with local homebound residents. About 100 volunteers, donned in bright yellow Shell T-shirts, delivered turkey dinners and candy-filled stockings to more than 200 residents in Deer Park, Pasadena and La Porte. The recipients were greeted with holiday songs, smiles and a turkey dinner.

May Shek, president of Shell Deer Park’s volunteer program, says Shell employees have participated in Meals on Wheels for more than a decade. “It’s not just the meal,” says Shek. “It’s the act of sharing our cheer with our homebound neighbors. Last year, I had the privilege of listening to a 100-year-old woman play the piano while we sang Christmas carols to her.”

Will Lipham, an engineer at Shell, and his wife and son delivered meals to 15 residents. “I felt like I really connected with the people we visited,” says Lipham. “We sat down and talked with them. Many folks shared stories about their grandchildren, health and plans for the holidays.”
