March for Meals

March’s Caring for America emphasis will be our county’s Meals on Wheels program. Senior Connect is the administrative agency for this service. We serve approximately 375 home delivered meals daily. During the month of March, we place special emphasis on the need in the community….we call it March for Meals. We invite all of you to deliver a route in your area at any time during March. Take pictures so we can post on social media. You can email the pictures to polkmelinda@gmail.com. This is so important for our program. One of the current battles that’s being fought on the National level is the influx of “for profit” agencies that want to drop ship boxed meals to isolated seniors. Since 1965 Meals on Wheels has provided more than a meal, by providing daily contact for our neighbors. Your involvement will help us bring this need to light.

Listed below are the directors at each of our centers. Contact the director at the Center nearest you (or nearest your work location) to schedule a time to deliver a route. Go in pairs, take your kids, whatever works for your schedule. Our seniors will love it! We need a background check on anyone over age 17. Volunteer agreement
