The new announcement informs you of the valuable opportunity to aid nutritionally at-risk senior citizens. You can help the organization support homebound elders in maintaining their health and dignity by delivering healthy meals to their doorsteps daily.
In Contra Costa County, the fastest-growing population segment is seniors aged 80 and older. They usually live alone and have chronic health conditions that prevent them from preparing or shopping for nutritious meals. Furthermore, most live below basic income standards which makes budgeting for food, medicines, rent, and utilities very difficult.
Each benefactor receives healthy balanced meals created by certified nutritionists. A typical meal will include protein, vegetables, fruits, bread or grain, low-fat milk or milk alternative, and a dessert. In some areas, however, there is a waitlist as the demand has become greater than funding and delivery volunteers. For this reason, the organization is turning to you to help them in acquiring the resources they need to meet growing demands.
Meals on Wheels relies heavily on your donations to subsidize more than half a million meals annually. In Contra Costa County alone, they serve over 2,600 clients daily. You may donate through PayPal, credit or debit card, check or money order, corporate sponsorships and giving programs, and many others. Your donations will be tax-deductible. Check out https://mowofcontracosta.org/donate-2 to find out how to help.
Why not share your time with this worthy cause? You can volunteer to deliver 90 meals on Contra Costa County routes every week. You can also spare a few hours to help out in their office or events, assemble meals, do wellness checks, and more! Wanna volunteer? Go to https://mowofcontracosta.org/volunteer-2
According to a spokesperson from Meals on Wheels, “Thanks to generous contributions we receive from individuals like you, as well as gifts from charitable organizations, we can subsidize over 1.5 million nutritious meals annually; delivered to frail, nutritionally at-risk homebound elders in their residences in Contra Costa County.”
