March for Meals - Senior Activities

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit McDowell County Commission on Aging, Inc.; any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for contributing to this cause which means so much to me.

More information about McDowell County Commission on Aging, Inc.: Established in 1973, the MCCOA is a multi-service, non-profit, community-based program. Our purpose is to maintain and improve daily life for seniors, the disabled, and their caregivers through advocacy, education, wellness promotion, and support services.

Each March, Meals on Wheels celebrates the historic day in 1972 when a national nutrition program for seniors was added to the Older Americans Act. This legislation supported the rapid growth of the Meals on Wheels network that now collectively serves 2.8 million seniors each year.

This year's fundraiser is to cover the cost of senior activities that often take place before or after lunch. Senior Activities help reduce isolation and are open to all age 60+ who attend the senior centers. Examples include special parties, bingo, arts and crafts.
