Summary: To provide meals for elderly and disabled citizens who cannot get access to meals 7 days a week.
The Avalon Meals-on-Wheels project feeds and delivers meals Monday-Saturday to about 20 low income disabled and elderly citizens who are unable to leave their home. Without those delivered meals, many would go without food completely. Currently there is not funding the ensure that these individuals would be able to eat 7 days a week. The funds provided would be used to cover the gap in funding needed by the Avalon Meals-on-Wheels to ensure that these disabled or elderly low income residents are able to eat 7 days per week.

We have purchased 4 insulated containers to keep the food warm as it is in transition to be delivered. These were well received by the organization and the recipients. We have spent all of the remaining budgeted funds and have paid for meals through June 30, 2017. For the remaining fiscal year, funds will have been provided for over 850 meals since August 2016. In addition to the funding, as part of our project, our members are delivering meals at least one day per week. Currently we have 6 members that participate on a regular basis, with several more in training.
