Get to know the Peace meal driver staff

George Peden

I'm soon to be 64 years old. I guess you could say that i'm a huge advocate for Peace meal here in the central Illinois area. I started as a delivery driver back in 1984, with a previous senior meal program titled Scott Health Resources senior meal program. I worked for them for 9 years until they partnered with Peace meal. I have been driving for 42 years and still serving the seniors in the Bloomington/Normal area and beyond. I once read a quote that said "I will meet you at the crossroads" and you know i've delivered to relatives, friends, acquaintances, worked with people at Peace meal that i have worked with at other jobs back in my high school years. I consider Peace meal family my second family. They all hold a special place in my heart. In the senior community i'm finding more and more that everyone knows or has heard of "George". In my free time these days i prefer to stay at home relaxing with family, enjoying good conversations, lots of laughter, listening to music and wondering when i became a senior citizen myself.
