Each week, we meet neighbors whose stories stay with us long after the delivery is made. For some, a Meals on Wheels visit begins long before the knock at the door—with a volunteer carefully selecting groceries, choosing fresh produce, and making sure every item reflects not just nutrition, but dignity and care. It’s a simple act, but for the seniors we serve, it means everything: independence, connection, and the comfort of knowing they are not forgotten.
As we celebrate 55 years of Meals on Wheels Erie, we are also looking ahead, finding new ways to meet growing needs in our community. On May 15th, we will host At Her Table: A 55th Anniversary Celebration for Meals on Wheels Erie, benefiting the Women’s Nutritional Network. This special evening will honor the strength of women in our community while helping ensure more women have access to the nutrition and care they need.
We also invite you to be part of another meaningful tradition - our 8th Annual Take a Swing Against Hunger Golf Scramble on August 31st at Beechwood Golf Club, proudly presented by CK Healthcare Advisors. With early bird pricing now in effect, it’s a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends, support our mission, and make a tangible difference for the neighbors we serve each day.
Whether you join us at an event, lend your support, or simply help spread our message, you are part of the care and compassion that carries this mission forward. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier community—one meal, one visit, and one connection at a time.
Warmly,
Jennifer
