Delawareans in their homes.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
We raise funds and awareness in support
of independent meal delivery programs.
In 2020 during the most challenging months
of the pandemic the meals continued to be delivered without missing one day. More
meals and seniors were served than ever
before with meal numbers increasing by 26%
over the year, and seniors served by 40%
to 6,600. Seniors were able to stay safe at
home. Additional services such as groceries, cleaning products and pet food were quickly added.
