Our January Seedlings recipient is Eastside Meals on Wheels. Round up your purchases all month long to support their work.
Eastside Meals on Wheels (MoW) is a 501(c)3 that has been delivering meals on wheels since 1974. With the help and generosity of volunteers and donors, they deliver nutritious meals to folks who struggle to prepare adequate meals or to shop for themselves. Older adults and individuals with disabilities rely on MoW to help them stay healthy and safe through meal delivery and wellness check-ins. They do everything they can to keep meal cost low. It's important that the service is available to those on fixed incomes or who can't contribute towards the meal cost.
Most MoW clients are older adults and individuals with disabilities. They are an under-served population because they have limited mobility and may be more vulnerable due to memory issues. Volunteers bringing food to them not only helps with food access, it also helps clients stay connected to the community.
