For each bag sold at the King Soopers located at 5050 E Arapahoe Rd, Centennial CO in August and September, $1 will be donated to Nourish Meals on Wheels.

Shift into gear and head over on Sunday, August 11, 2024, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to the Littleton Elks Lodge, 5749 S. Curtice Street, Littleton.

With the summer heat in full swing, it's so important to take extra care of our older loved ones. Older adults are more susceptible to heat stroke, so let's make sure they stay safe and comfortable. Here are a few tips:

Stay Hydrated 💧: Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Stay Indoors During Peak Hours 🏡: Avoid going out during the hottest parts of the day (10 AM - 4 PM).
Keep Cool ❄️: Use fans, air conditioning, or cool showers to stay cool. If you don't have AC, spend time in air-conditioned places like malls or libraries.
Dress Light 👒: Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothes.
Check In ☎️: Regularly check on older family members, friends, and neighbors to make sure they're doing okay.
Let's look out for each other and enjoy a safe and healthy summer! 🌻❤️

These fantastic kids at Columbine United Church made the best dog and cat treat bags for our clients who have pets. Thank you so much to Samantha Bronson and her Youth Group for taking a summer day to help older adults!

At Nourish Meals on Wheels, we understand that food is at the heart of our culture, bringing warmth and connection to our lives. It carries the flavors of our history and traditions, reminding us of where we come from. Today, Chef Geoff prepared a meal that encompasses the symbolism of Juneteenth: oven fried chicken with country gravy, stewed collard greens with vegetables, corn succotash, and watermelon salad. These traditional dishes, passed down through generations, connect us to our roots and help us appreciate the beauty of different cultures. Through food, we find comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging.

🌟 We Keep Hunger at Bay on the Weekends Too!🌟

At Nourish Meals on Wheels, our mission is to ensure that older or homebound adults receive the food they need to thrive. We deliver hot, nutritious meals directly to their doors from Monday to Friday. Additionally, on Fridays, we provide extra frozen meals that are easy to reheat over the weekend.

Our incredible "Frozen Team" works hard to make sure our clients receive the nourishment they need every day of the week.

🌟 A huge THANK YOU to Raymond James! 🌟

Our community partners make a world of difference in our programs at Nourish, and today we want to give a shoutout to Raymond James for their support! Their recent food drive is a testament to the power of community.

Thanks to their efforts, our Supplemental Grocery Program can continue its mission to provide shelf-stable food items to our clients on the second Saturday of every month. This means our clients will always have at least three days of food in their pantry, ensuring no one goes hungry.

Inspired to make an impact? You can host a Food Drive too! Reach out to Anne at [email protected] to learn how you can help us nourish our community. Together, we can make a difference! 💚🥫
