It's almost the holidays, and Meals on Wheels is ramping up for our annual holiday sack collection.
We have empty boxes wrapped and ready to go to any place of business or church that would like to collect goodies for our recipients.We are collecting a variety of items under the following three categories:
Toiletries ( Travel sized shampoo, conditioner, soap, or lotion) Games (crossword puzzles, suduko, puzzles) Snacks (little debbie's, juice boxes, crackers)
For most of our 750 recipients this will be the only gift they receive this year. Most of them do not have family or friends near and are unable to leave the house to visit loved ones. This is our way of showing our recipients they are cared for above and beyond a daily meal.
If you have any questions or would like me to drop off a box with a detailed flyer to your place of business, school or church please call 813-238-8410 to schedule pick up of the full boxes between December 2-4.
