HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
We raise funds and awareness in support of independent meal delivery programs, which served nearly 700,000 meals to over 4,400 seniors in 2019.
Meal recipients are men and women,
aged 60 plus, who often live alone. During
the current crisis Meals On Wheels is an
essential lifeline to many more seniors.
Those no longer able to attend senior
centers, or with health concerns, were able
to stay home, healthy and safe with a daily meal delivery. Additional services such as groceries, cleaning products and pet food were quickly added.
