March 2025: Volunteer Newsletter

How You're Helping End the Wait!

As a Meals on Wheels volunteer, you may have heard about recent federal funding cuts affecting programs like ours. We've had to make adjustments to continue serving those in need, but we couldn't do it without you. Did you know our donors help contribute 25% of our funding, allowing us to keep delivering more than just a meal? We also want to focus on ways to End the Wait this March. This is Meals on Wheels’ new plan, focusing on ways to reduce the waitlist of many programs across America, including ours.

Learn how you can help us continue this vital work to End the Wait!
