Have fun while making a difference!
The funds raised from Dining to Deliver Gala will be used to deliver meals and supportive services to vulnerable seniors!
Every day, 10,000 people turn 70 in this country, and in Contra Costa County, the elderly are the largest growing segment of the population. Seniors living on a fixed income face the cost of rising food prices, a fragile support system, isolation, and health and mobility issues that contribute to food insecurity.
Last year, the organization delivered 693,815 meals, made 12,674 Friendly Calls, delivered 5,057 Grocery Bags, made 973 Friendly Visits, served 529 Breakfast Bag clients, helped 463 seniors with errands, modified 306 homes, and made 98 elder abuse interventions! The need for our services will only increase, making the Dining to Deliver Gala so important. Read more about our work in our recent annual report.
Whether you are joining us at our Dining to Deliver Gala on June 10th or can’t attend, you can still join in on the fun! Check out our online auction where you can help MOW Diablo Region deliver meals and services to older adults in our community and snag some great items for yourself, too!
