Support Meals on Wheels for Esther’s 80th!

My mom's 80th birthday is this January!

Esther has been a Meals on Wheels volunteer in Southern Illinois for over 30 years.

Let's join together to make a donation to Meals on Wheels in her honor, and help more senior citizens live nourished lives with independence and dignity.

To say my mom inspires me is an understatement. I remember going with her as a little girl to deliver Meals on Wheels. During our delivery drives, she talked to me about the importance of helping others, and being an active community member. 

She and my dad have even continued to deliver Meals on Wheels during the pandemic, knowing even more senior citizens are isolated and could use a warm meal. 

Please join me in making a donation to Meals on Wheels in honor of my mom's 80th! Every dollar makes a difference.
