At 100 years old, WWII veteran Mel Faes is still out delivering Meals on Wheels like it’s his personal mission — because it is. After four decades of volunteering, he’s now cruising his Monday route with backup from his sons, who jumped in when he stopped driving but happily let Mel take the lead at the door.
The Denver legend just earned an Everyday Hero award, proving you’re never too old to show up for your community — and Mel shows up every single week.
