Nathan Acker, 88, has been delivering meals from Prides Corner Congregational Church in Westbrook for 23 years.
Every Wednesday he loads up 14 meals and hits the road.
Wednesday was special because after all of those years, he delivered his 10,000th meal.
Acker has no intentions of slowing down and said the people on the other end of the meals mean a lot to him.
"I like being with people. This isn't the only thing I do. I volunteer at nursing homes. I run a bridge game at one of the nursing homes. We have a program at our church. I say the only reason I got the job was that I was the only one who would do it," said Acker.
Acker is a World War II veteran and a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He said he never retired because the company he worked for went bankrupt.

Almost everyone has not ever feed a homeless or poor person. How about making a commitment in 2010 to feed at least one person by volunteering at a homeless shelter or providing a meal to someone on the street. Never know what God might do through your deed of kindness.
James 2:26 so as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also.
The Lord Bless Mr. Acker's heart!
