EATON Mayor Joe Renner presented a proclamation to the Preble County Council on Aging on Tuesday, Feb. 23, declaring March as the 19th Annual “March for Meals” Month.
According to the PCCOA, Meals on Wheels has been guided by a single goal since the first known U.S. delivery by a small group of Philadelphia citizens in 1954 – to support senior neighbors to extend their independence and health as they age. For the last 19 years, the Meals on Wheels network has claimed the month of March as its time to join forces to strengthen the impact of its efforts and rally communities around the country.
Senior news
PREBLE COUNTY The Preble County Council on Aging has several great opportunities for seniors.
March for Meals
Typically, we celebrate March by hosting a “Big Wheels Take Meals” week-long event. We ask community leaders (Big Wheels) in our community to deliver meals along with our regular drivers and see what the day in the life of our meal delivery staff is like. We want our community to not only see the need but to know who to call when they see someone in need. Here are testimonials from past Big Wheels:
Brad Collins, Eaton City Manager: “Thanks for allowing me to participate in Big Wheels Takes Meals. The home meal delivery is more than just delivering a nutritious hot meal to those in need. It is a great opportunity to check in and visit with our seniors. Thank you, Preble County Council on Aging, for all you do for our seniors.”
