March for Meals
March for Meals is a month-long initiative dedicated to supporting our Meals on Wheels (MOW) program. It's a lifeline for many seniors: those who need help due to physical disabilities and cognitive impairments, folks recovering from illnesses or surgeries, and seniors requiring special dietary planning and assistance.
By participating in our March for Meals Campaign, you're supporting a program that addresses not only nutritional needs but also the social and emotional well-being of real people in your community. The program helps reduce social isolation, fosters a sense of community, and acts as a wellness check, ensuring that vulnerable Hatters receive the care and attention they deserve.
