Love Run 30 Year Timeline

Join A Team or Create Your Own

Whether you are a corporation, an organization or a team, groups of like-minded individuals banding together as a peer-to-peer fundraising team can make a significant impact in feeding homebound seniors. The results of this type of fundraising are proving to be powerful and meaningful. When more people get involved in the fundraising team’s campaign as donors or participants, more dollars can be raised. This is a great approach to adding value to your workplace, group or organization’s culture, engaging others and enjoying the group motivation of helping people in great need.

Fundraise and Donate

Please consider becoming a fundraiser or making an additional donation for Senior Concerns. For every $10 raised we are able to deliver three freshly made, nutritious meals to a needy senior right in our own community. Please join us today in  providing nutritious meals to our senior community.

Does your registration and donation really make a difference?  Meet three of our Meals On Wheels scholarship recipients who are being directly affected by your generosity!

Frieda: “I really like Meals on Wheels. I first got it when Jerry, my husband, had both dementia and Parkinson’s because I always had to be on top of things. I have met so many nice drivers who bring my meals. Susan is very helpful. She has a way of talking to me if I’m down that makes me laugh, and then I feel better. She wants to know how I’m doing, which is very nice. I talk about my wrinkles and we both laugh!”
Susan Primo, who has been driving for 30 years: “So many of these recipients are all alone with nobody, and delivering meals is a way of knowing if they are alright. Sometimes we are the only people they see all day, and they are so happy to see us.”

 


Claire: Although Claire does not engage in much conversation, when Driver Harlene asked her a question, she answered with a big smile and said, “It’s neat when you come over!” 
Harlene: “I’ve been delivering meals on Mondays for 10 years, and it has been such an enriching time for me, just a lovely, lovely addition to my life. People ask me, ‘But isn’t that sad?’ I tell them, ‘There’s not one bit of sadness.’ I learn so much from these wise people. I’ve watched people go from being shy and fearful to having big smiles like Claire has, because they feel comfortable, and needed, wanted, and heard.”

 


Elaine has been delivering meals on Mondays since 2018, and currently delivers five days/week for a total of 35 meals! She said, “I just love getting out into the community and meeting people like Brenda, knowing I can provide them a little bit of comfort and conversation. I want to make that connection. It’s powerful for me to make a difference in someone’s life.”
Brenda: “I start waiting for Elaine on Sunday, the night before she comes! I’m so happy she’s coming, and I get hungry, too. She always has my meal, and she always has my back.”
