Letters: Meals on Wheels needs support

Unfortunately, we have now reached a similar position, and the previous funds donated, are almost exhausted.
Meals on Wheels
Delta Meals on Wheels is once again asking the community for financial support to continue offering its programs in the community.

Editor:

Two years ago, Delta Meals on Wheels was desperately short of funds and appealed to the Delta population for support.

At that time, the response was amazing and we received sufficient donations to continue providing our service to members of the community, living on their own, and unable to prepare and cook meals for themselves.

Unfortunately, we have now reached a similar position, and the previous funds donated, are almost exhausted.

As previously explained, our program relies almost exclusively on donations for its existence, and the money raised is used only to offset costs incurred for food and packaging.

We therefore, once again, asking all citizens and local organizations to donate to this worthy cause.

The Delta Meals on Wheels Society is completely made up of volunteers, who, come rain or shine, provides a valuable service of delivering a hot meal directly to our customers in their homes. Your valuable contributions will once again speak volumes to the caring community we live in.

So please forward your donations to: Delta Meals on Wheels, #202-5000 Bridge St., Delta, B.C., V4K-2X4. The society will provide tax receipts for all donations received.

Maurice Newby
