Every morning in Greenwich, a quiet act of kindness unfolds. As the sun rises, a team of dedicated volunteers loads up their cars with carefully prepared meals, ready to bring nourishment and connection to those in need. And at the heart of this daily mission? You—our generous donor.
Your support fuels every aspect of Meals-on-Wheels, Inc. of Greenwich, ensuring that no senior or homebound individual goes without a nutritious meal. Because of you, someone like an 82-year-old widow, doesn’t have to worry about what she’ll eat today. She opens her door each morning to a friendly volunteer delivering a meal tailored to her dietary needs.
A dedicated fleet of volunteers make these deliveries possible. With 11 routes spanning the community, it takes 75 committed drivers to ensure meals arrive on time 5 days a week. These volunteers do more than deliver food; they offer a smile, a conversation, and a moment of warmth that brightens a recipient’s day. For many, this is the only human interaction they may have all day – a priceless gift.
Beyond just meals, your contributions help Meals-on-Wheels keep its services affordable. At just $8 for two meals a day or $6 for one, your donation ensures that cost is never a barrier to nourishment. As demand for our services has grown by 20%, your kindness has allowed us to keep up, reaching more neighbors in need and expanding our impact in the community.
When you make a donation to Meals-on-Wheels, know that you are not just providing food – you are delivering comfort, companionship, and security to those who need it most. You are the reason someone in Greenwich can enjoy a nutritious prepared meal, the reason a volunteer gets to brighten someone’s day, and the reason our community remains strong and connected.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Every meal we deliver carries your kindness with it, and we are deeply grateful for all you do.
With appreciation,
The Meals-on-Wheels, Inc. of Greenwich Team
