Guests will enjoy a luxurious 5 course meal, cash bar, live entertainment by talented local musical acts Hippodrome and James Oldenberg, a lively silent auction, and a night of dancing. With your support, all proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels and LSCO’s senior services, helping ensure that older adults in our community can continue to lead healthy, independent lives.

Did you know? LSCO Meals on Wheels subsidizes meal costs for every single client. We do not receive any government funding towards the cost of food – relying entirely on fundraising, grants, and donations to cover the $95,000 shortfall in food and packaging costs alone. This $95,000 does not include an additional $101,000 for the resources needed to keep the program running such as a portion of our kitchen staff salary, building lease and utilites, kitchen maintenance, insurance etc. The LSCO has been covering those additional costs through our other programming for years, but this is not sustainable.

Our clients cannot afford to pay higher meal prices. We have only had three small increases to MOW prices in the past 7 years, despite rising food costs and a huge price increase for MOW packaging. With almost all of our clients on small, fixed incomes, it should be no surprise that every small price increase results in customers ordering fewer meals per month (making meals stretch over two or more mealtimes) or dropping out of the service altogether. BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! By supporting events like this one, you help us continue to make sure no senior goes to bed with an empty stomach.
