MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - For more than a decade, Kerry Straley has been cooking up meals that are served all across Horry County by Meals on Wheels.
Shortly after moving to South Carolina, life threw Straley a curveball after he was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Refusing to give up and keeping his faith in God, he beat the cancer and wanted to find a way to give back to the community.
From cooking to delivering meals, Straley has been a staple at Meals on Wheels.
Meals on Wheels is looking for new drivers to take on drop-off routes after seeing their number of routes nearly double.
Straley says he encourages anyone to find a way to volunteer and give back to their community.
