Highmark Walk For a Healthy Community 2016


Meals On Wheels of Northampton County will be participating in the 13th "Walk For A Healthy Community" hosted by Highmark Health on June 4, 2016. Last year, with the support of generous friends, we were able to surpass our goal and raised over $47,000, representing the highest amount raised in our community and highest among the five walks held throughout the state.

Meals On Wheels is seeking sponsors and walkers for this event. All proceeds raised by Meals On Wheels will help to support The Meal Subsidy Program to subsidize the cost of meals for 90% of our seniors who are low income, most living just on Social Security or less.

We kindly ask your support to help us reach our goal of $50,000 to support The Meal Subsidy Program. Your consideration of the following is very much appreciated:

  • Provide an outright sponsorship gift in support of the event of any amount with special recognition for sponsorship gifts of: Platinum - $2,000 Gold - $1,000 Silver - $500 Copper - $200 Bronze - $100.
  • Provide a raffle prize to support a prize drawing for our walkers.
  • Invite your employees to walk that day with the Meals On Wheels Team.

This year we will serve over 1,500 seniors, preparing over 2,000 cold and hot meals per day for a total of 525,000 meals for the year. We currently subsidize each meal that we prepare at a rate of $1.18 per meal for a total of $621,000, representing 24% of our operating budget.

Seniors tell us that if they did not receive meals, they would not be able to remain living in their homes.

Thank you for your consideration of support which will help to insure that no senior in our community goes hungry and is able to live independently in their own home.
