Mobile Meals is proud to announce its new Adopt-a-Senior Holiday Program, an initiative that allows individuals, organizations, and businesses to provide small, basic items to vulnerable seniors. We have identified seniors who are facing financial hardship, often due to circumstances beyond their control.

Monetary donations can be made at https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E159217&id=18
(Adopt A Senior under campaign options).

Our hope is that, through your generosity, our seniors will be reminded that they are loved and cared for by the people in our community.

If you wish, you may also send a holiday card with well wishes for the holiday season. We are positive that your card will remain displayed for many months to come. If you know others, such as friends or local businesses, that would be interested in getting involved, then please pass along this information to them as well.

Thank you Roy, you do a great job! 🙌🏻
