How It Makes A Difference
Getting proper nutrition can be a challenge for older adults, especially those who are homebound or living alone. Cooking, even getting to the grocery store, can be difficult. By hosting a bake sale and donating the proceeds to St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, you will help provide daily nutrition for a older adult who might otherwise go without. We deliver over 3,000 meals to older adults every day, and you can help make sure that continues. For every $7.85 you raise, we can feed a older adult for a whole day.
