Why support this fun event?
Sponsoring an event with Meals on Wheels, an organization with a stellar reputation and strong name recognition, helps you reach more customers and build loyalty. More than 80% of consumers consider a company’s support of a cause when deciding where to shop or what products to recommend.
The number of older adults and services needed is rapidly rising – by 2045, seniors will outnumber children for the first time in history. Meals on Wheels improves the independence of seniors by delivering daily hot, healthy meals, accompanied by a wellness check and friendly visit, to the door of those in need throughout Northwest Indiana. This helps keeps seniors in their homes where they want to be, lowers the cost of healthcare to the community, eases loneliness, and improves quality of life. We deliver 350,000 meals annually with the support of 650 volunteers.
