Volunteer elves have been hard at work all summer preparing for our Holiday Adopt a Senior event! Each of our 4,500 Meals on Wheels clients will receive a holiday gift filled with wrapped toiletry items including shampoo, toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, a washcloth, and socks. The gifts will be delivered on Christmas morning along with their hot holiday meal.
