THE POWER OF ONE

ONE hour to deliver meals

ONE day every week

ONE gallon of gasoline If you can spare one hour to deliver meals, one day every week and one gallon of gasoline, then Na-

trona County Meals on Wheels needs YOU! Help us deliver meals one day a week, Monday-Friday to

the homebound and disabled people living in YOUR neighborhood. We are also in need of substitute

drivers to cover routes for our regular drivers when they’re not available.

YOU will be the ONE who brightens someone’s day by knocking on their door and delivering

Meals On Wheels! For more information, please contact us at (307)265-8659.

Honor your Mother or Father on

Mother’s Day or Father’s Day

Let Meals On Wheels suggest a thoughtful way to honor your mother and father or

another special man or woman in your life this Mother’s Day, May 13th or Father’s

Day, June 17th. You can give a gift that reflects your love for them and your care

and concern for others-the very qualities that make “mom” or “dad” proud.

They will know that they made a difference in your life when you make a difference

in someone else’s. Send a Lets Do Lunch gift to Meals On Wheels in their honor.

We’ll send a card to let mom or dad know of your gift to honor them in a way that

helps those in need.

Sixty-one percent of the folks served by Meals On Wheels are elderly women who

live alone. Often they don’t “do lunch” ...at least not without help. Often, they

aren’t able to fix their own meals, to leave home to “do lunch” out, to grocery

shop, or to pay for their own sustenance. Just think of what your gift can mean to

them.

Will you consider helping someone else's mother or father “do lunch” as you

honor yours? Will you consider providing meals for someone in need for a week, a

month, a year, or for as long as you can comfortably help? The cost to donate

someone’s lunch, through Meals On Wheels is:

1 week………...…..$35.00

1 month………...$140.00

3 months ......... $420.00

6 month ........... $840.00

1 year………... $1,680.00

If you can find it in your heart and your budget to help, when you’re thinking of

the special woman or man in your life on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, you’ll

know that another woman or man will enjoy nutritious meals because of your

thoughtfulness.

Meals on Wheels would like to thank our donors for their generosity!!

difference? Call today….and touch people’s

lives with food and friendship.

Our need for drivers to deliver meals grows daily. One hour of

volunteer time is all it takes to deliver meals and touch the lives of

many people. One lunch hour per week helps Meals On Wheels

accomplish our goal. Businesses, by establishing a team of drivers,

can also deliver meals to the elderly and disabled.

The rewards are fabulous! You will be thanked endlessly, have fun,

make new friends, feel needed, loved and appreciated, and know

you’re really making a difference.
