In
1997, Council on Aging of Volusia County established an annual
fundraiser, Walk for Meals on Wheels, to support nutrition
services; in the past few years it has been expanded to include other
grant funded services.
All funds generated are used to meet a
portion of the local match requirement of the Federal and State
grants.

The following
is a story as related by a Meals on Wheels volunteer drive:
"He opened the
door and his wide smile greeted me. His white wavy hair was combed
so proper, his clothes neat and clean and he was wearing a tie.
The Meals on
Wheels volunteer remarked how nice he appeared and
asked why he was so dressed up. He looked up at the volunteer and
with warm eyes said, "I dress to receive my meal and your visit,
you are all so kind." The volunteer realized at that moment what
the Meals on Wheels program truly means to the
homebound elderly in our community.
Meals on Wheels
is just one of the many services
provided by the Council on Aging. The Council on Aging needs your
help by sponsoring its annual fundraisers to help provide meals
and other services to seniors in our communities.
