Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving!

We will be closed tomorrow and Friday for Thanksgiving. Our drivers recently delivered an additional 7,600 meals, along with snacks and pet food, to ensure our clients who receive Thursday and Friday deliveries have enough food to eat. ❤️

We had an overwhelming amount of support from volunteers in November. Thank you, Girl Scout Troops #4692 and #4225, @GirlScoutsWOH, Orchard Digital Marketing, @GE_aerospace, Brownie Troop #4489, @ElementTesting and @DonnellMcCarthy! More photos here: bit.ly/3VcZrFE.

As Bust a Crust pies go out for delivery this week, we wanted to give special thanks to our Easy as Pie sponsors:

Thanks to the more than 100 volunteers who spent their Saturday morning packing pie boxes with us, as well as all our sponsors and everyone who bought pies through our Bust a Crust fundraiser.

We love learning more about our clients including Laurel. She’s a participant of our Health & Wellness Programming. Learn more about some of the activities she partakes in and the role they play in this chapter of her life. You can read her story here: bit.ly/3Z8AvAm.

Thanks to our Bust a Crust Everyone Loves Pie sponsors:

We are expanding our Health & Wellness programming’s Virtual Activity Center through a new platform – Televeda. Adults 60+ can log on to attend free classes from the comfort of home. To learn more, contact Kara at kpierson@muchmorethanameal.org.

Earlier this month, several @GirlScoutsWOH troops cut 600 pumpkin pies into more than 3,500 slices. They were delivered to our seniors as part of their weekly meal deliveries.
