Honor your Mother or Father on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day
Let Meals On Wheels suggest a thoughtful way to honor your mother and father or another special man or woman in your life this Mother’s Day, May 14th or Father’s Day, June 18th. You can give a gift that reflects your love for them and your care and concern for others-the very qualities that make “mom” or “dad” proud. They will know that they made a difference in your life when you make a difference in someone else’s. Send a Lets Do Lunch gift to Meals On Wheels in their honor. We’ll send a card to let mom or dad know of your gift to honor them in a way that helps those in need. Sixty-one percent of the folks served by Meals On Wheels are elderly women who live alone. Often they don’t “do lunch” ...at least not without help. Often, they aren’t able to fix their own meals, to leave home to “do lunch” out, to grocery shop, or to pay for their own sustenance. Just think of what your gift can mean to them. Will you consider helping someone else's mother or father “do lunch” as you honor yours? Will you consider providing meals for someone in need for a week, a month, a year, or for as long as you can comfortably help? The cost to donate someone’s lunch, through Meals On Wheels is: 1 week………..$35.00
1 month……..$140.00 3 months ...... $420.00
6 month .......$840.00 1 year………...$1,680.00
If you can find it in your heart and your budget to help, when you’re thinking of the special woman or man in your life on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, you’ll know that another woman or man will enjoy nutritious meals because of your thoughtfulness.
Meals on Wheels would like to thank our donors for their generosity!!

Our need for drivers to deliver meals grows daily. One hour of volunteer time is all it takes to deliver meals and touch the lives of many people. One lunch hour per week helps Meals On Wheels
accomplish our goal. Businesses, by establishing a team of drivers, can also deliver meals to the elderly and disabled.
The rewards are fabulous! You will be thanked endlessly, have fun, make new friends, feel needed, loved and appreciated, and know
you’re really making a difference.
