Every March, Meals on Wheels Association of America kicks off its March for Meals Campaign. Local Meals on Wheels providers, like Coastline, work within their communities to bring awareness to the need for elderly nutrition programs, and to raise money for local programs.
At Coastline, we have a busy month ahead of us! Throughout the entire month of March, you can dine at several local restaurants who have partnered with us by putting out donation collection boxes. So far, the restaurants include Fay's, Destination Soups, Center Cafe, Fernando's, The Roasted Pig, and The Healthy Grille.
On Saturday, March 24th at Fort Taber from 10am – 1pm, we will be hosting a Fun Walk and Wellness Fair. We hope you can come out and enjoy the fresh air and a nice walk around the park, and then stop into the Community Building where we will have yoga
and zumba demonstrations, health screenings, and plenty of other health and wellness information.
To register for the Fun Walk, you can download this form, fill it out, and mail it back to us. Or you can click on this link and pay through PayPal on our website. Registration forms will also be available to pick up at your local Council on Aging. Seniors over age 60 and children under 12 cost $15.00; adults cost $25.00; and families (1-2 adults and children) cost $40.00. Registration includes a T-Shirt and one free raffle ticket given to you at the Fun Walk.
All proceeds directly benefit our Elderly Nutrition Program, helping us provide elders living throughout the community with meals, nutrition and health workshops, supplements, and other wellness programs.
Finally, on March 29th, Mayor Mitchell will join our Elderly Nutrition Program Director at one of our meal sites for a tour, and will help deliver meals to some Meals on Wheels' recipients.
We are asking you to support Coastline's Nutrition Program by dining at one of the above restaurants, coming out to the Fun Walk & Wellness Fair, or just helping us spread the word!
