Fundraiser for Meals on Wheels

Editorial comment. In these times private, non-profit programs like Meals on Wheels literally become a matter of life and death. Here is a fun and effective way to fund this critical social service.

And now the official press release:

Senior Services for South Sound invites you to eat out and help local low-income seniors! Be a part of their annual FAT TUESDAY~FEAST FOR SENIORS, all day March 8th. Join other locals, who have a heart for seniors, by bringing a group out to eat that day. Why not have breakfast, lunch and dinner at one of the participating restaurants and help meet the goal of $8,000 raised.

All proceeds raised will benefit at-risk, low-income, and disabled seniors needing Meals-on-Wheels and other vital assistance from Senior Services for South Sound.

The Senior Nutrition Program is designed to ensure that vulnerable elderly individuals in Thurston and Mason County have adequate nutrition. Meals on Wheels programs reduce premature institutionalization due to poor health and the inability to perform daily tasks.

Here is the list of participating venues. When dining out, please let the venues know that you are there to support seniors and that you appreciate their participation. Also, restaurants have varying hours, please check for times of operation and make reservations for parties of four or more.
