$15,000 raised for Meals on Wheels!

Thanks to our friends at Merrill Lynch, who sponsored and organized our 4^th annual wheel-a-thon! The poker run and chicken BBQ raised $15,000 to support our local Foodnet meals on wheels program. Fund raising like this is essential for Foodnet to be able to serve all the people who need meals on wheels. Without it, we would have to cut back our services and couldn’t feed all the people who need our help.

That’s why we are so thankful for our volunteers and sponsors:
