Henry andGladys came to
California in 1942 in a rumble seatModel B Ford to find the good life. Theywere young, energetic, and ready tomeet life's challenges together.
Initially they worked in the Bay AreaWorld War II shipyards helping toprotect our liberty and freedom. By 1943their construction business began asside jobs and remodeling work. Iteventually grew into designing and
building new homes. Children Patricia,Bud, Garnetta, and Barbara were soonborn to this young loving couple, andHenry's and Gladys' skills, talents, andconfidence grew with their new family.
With few financial resources theybegan building modest homes in theflatlands of San Pablo and, by the 1950s,advanced to larger “contemporary”homes in the foothills of West ContraCosta.

Responding to the most recent County budget crisis, County Health Servicesproposes cutting $40,000 in senior nutrition program funds this year, a large portionof which will come from the countywide Meals on Wheels Program. This reduction,coupled with continued flat state and federal program funding, and increasedmeals costs, makes for a very challenging budget year for Meals on Wheels.
Less than 45% of Meals on Wheels Program funding comes from governmentsources, yet they play an important roll in providing Meals on Wheels tohomebound elders in Contra Costa County. As program costs increase, andgovernment funds remain stagnant or shrink from year to year, communitysupport for Meals on Wheels becomes more important than ever.
Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa, Inc. is the only organization raising fundsfrom the community to provide meals for homebound elders through thecountywide Meals on Wheels Program.

Girls and PTA. And, in their “sparetime” they raised and trainedPeekapoos…dogs, which were always acrowd pleaser among both children andadults at local events.
Now in their 80s, the Mercers face thechallenges and infirmities of aging asthey faced all of life's challenges. Theirwillingness to take risks and meet newchallenges built a strong foundation fortheir family. The fruits of their laborsprovided foundations for many otherfamilies to live their lives. And theirmany years of leadership built strongfoundations for many organizations intheir once rural community.
We can all take a lesson from Henryand Gladys, who were never afraid tofollow their dreams
Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver meals to manyhomebound elders who have lived long—and fascinating—livesand made unique contributions to our communities. We enjoy
sharing the stories of our clients and their lives and today, we'd liketo tell you about Henry and Gladys Mercer.

When Mr. Noble retired as Vice Principal of
Liberty Union High School in 1982, after
36 years of dedicated service in
education, he was known as a thoughtful,
trusted, and respected teacher and
administrator. Some would say he
personified the “pal” in Principal. But he
was so much more than that.
Vernon Noble came to Brentwoodin 1946 via Marin County, havinggrown up and received his earlyeducation in San Rafael and SanAnselmo. Commuting by rail, ferryand streetcar, he earned an AB degreein music and education from SanFrancisco State University in 1940.
In July of 41 he was drafted into theU.S. military; and served as a memberof the Infantry Band throughoutWWII—including both the Germanand French campaigns—and returnedhome on December 26, 1945.
Mr. Noble has three books to hiscredit. Two provide firsthand insightsinto a solider during those verydifficult times:
and . And,in 1995 he finished his third book
As often is the case, there was awoman behind this successful man.Mr. Noble is quick to credit his wife“Chick” for her many years of support,encouragement, and partnership. TheNobles volunteered together on manycommunity activities, most notablytheir 37 years as music director andorgan accompanist for the CommunityUnited Methodist Church Choir. Mr.Noble estimates this entailed 1500Sunday services, an even largernumber of rehearsals, 26 Christmasconcerts and many other specialmusical events. It was a labor of love forboth. Mr. Noble originally qualified forMeals on Wheels as the dedicatedcaregiver for his beloved wife of 61years.

Because you care, Meals on Wheelsvolunteers now deliver nearly 1,100nutritious daily meals to frail andvulnerable homebound elders throughoutour county. More than just a statistic, thisrepresents the delivery of life sustainingdaily nutrition to homebound elders whomight not otherwise be able to liveindependently with dignity, in the securityand comfort of their own homes. Yoursupport allows Meals on Wheels to helpmake this possible.
The typical Meals on Wheelsparticipant is an 83-year-old woman wholives alone, and is afflicted with one or morechronic health problems that prevent herfrom preparing or shopping for nutritiousdaily meals. She lives on a meager fixedincome which is quickly being consumedfor rent and medication costs, leaving herwith little money for such basic needs asfood. She was probably referred to Meals onWheels by a family member or neighborwho was concerned that she wasn't eatingproperly, and feared that her already fragilehealth would deteriorate further. Shereceives hot nutritious noon mealsdelivered five days per week by a friendlyMeals on Wheels volunteer, and alsoreceives frozen meals for weekends.Though she can ill afford it, she voluntarilymakes an average contribution of $1.90towards the cost of each meal she receives.
Your contributions to Meals on Wheelsof Contra Costa, along with grants fromfoundations and civic organizations, helpus bridge the gap between the voluntarycontributions received from Meals onWheels program participants, and theactual cost of providing their meals. Forevery $2.00 we receive in donations orgrants, another meal can be delivered to ahomebound elder in Contra Costa County.This is due in large part to the enormous
daily contribution of time and effort byvolunteer Meals on Wheels driversthroughout the county.
Government grants now account forless than 45% of total Meals on Wheelsfunding. These are used mainly to pay thecosts of program staff who perform thed i f f i c u l t t a s k s o f c o o r d i n a t i n g ,administering, and monitoring thewholesomeness of 1,100 daily mealsdelivered to frail homebound elderscountywide via 70 Meals on Wheels routes.
More than half of the 265,000 mealsdelivered to homebound elders annuallythrough the countywide Meals on WheelsProgram are subsidized by contributionsand grants received by Meals on Wheels ofContra Costa. We are the only organizationraising funds to provide meals deliveredthrough the countywide Meals on WheelsProgram.
We would like to once again offer oursincere thank you for your continuedgenerous commitment of support for Mealson Wheels in our community. You makethe important difference in the lives of ourfrail and vulnerable homebound elders.
