It’s time to March for Meals !
Food insecurity and isolation are two major problems facing seniors in our community. With the cost of food and transportation, more and more seniors are finding it harder to age at home. Can you help them?
Your donation will help provide isolated and vulnerable seniors across your community access to a nutritious meal delivered to their door. But Meal Delivery is more than just ensuring nutrition; it’s also about making sure someone is doing okay.
Your donation helps change this. You’ll be helping put a meal on a table and smile on a face.
Our seniors have looked after us their whole lives. It’s time for us to look after them.
Please give today in Eastern Counties
Please support seniors in Renfrew County
