Meghann Doiron | Program Assistant
Meghann, along with her husband and three children, moved to Charleston in 2021 from the northeast in hopes of warmer weather and more outdoor time together. After 20 years in the photography industry, Meghann has joined Meals on Wheels in hopes of being a helping hand to all, and she’s very excited to be part of this welcoming and warm community. In her free time, Meghann loves reading, spending time with her family and two dogs, and being outside.
Cailee Sprecher | Recipient Services Manager
Cailee moved here from Iowa in 2021 because she was tired of winter. She previously worked at Wellmore of Daniel Island and especially enjoys working with the older population. If she's not at the beach, you'll find Cailee sitting somewhere reading a good book. She also looks forward to Fall every year so she can light her favorite candles. She's excited to continue helping people through her work at Meals on Wheels.
