On Friday August 12, 2011 friends of Meals on Wheels gathered at Cooper’s Stardust Bowl to help raise month for the Sponsor-A-Senior program that provides meals to seniors who are unable to prepare meals for themselves, and seniors who have no money to pay for meals. Without Meals on Wheels they would be at risk nutritionally and many would go to bed hungry. Twenty-eight teams of bowlers turned out to Strike Out Hunger in Hamilton County. More than $6,000 was raised in this two-hour event, and everyone had a great time. There was free pizza, and lots of door prizes to be won. The highest scoring first place team was Sheridan Healthcare Center with a total pin count of 2,617 pins and they were the trophy winners. They won 8 tickets for their team of 4 to two Colts pre-season games. The second place team was Harbour Manor Health & Living Center. They won a golf foursome at Harbour Trees Golf Club.

SAVE THE DATE for next year, on August 10, 2012, we will continue this fundraising tradition and “Strike Out Hunger” in our Hamilton County community. Everyone is welcome to participate. Reserve your lane, form your teams and challenge your competitors to a friendly bowling game. For more information, call Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County at 317-776-7159

FROM THE NOBLESVILLE DAILY TIMES:

Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is celebrating 35 years of home-delivered meal service to the senior citizens in our community this month.

“Our neighbors, our mothers, and our fathers may be hungry, and not know where to get their next meal. We need your help to end senior hunger in Hamilton County. Together, we can make a difference,” Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County Executive Director Marti Lindell said.

To celebrate their three and a half decades of service, the organization will host a Hoosier Derby Party from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, April 30 at The Sagamore Golf Club in Noblesville.

A donation of $35 per person entitles each guest to complimentary mint juleps, hors d’ouerves, music entertainment, a “Most Beautiful Hat” contest, virtual horse racing and other fun activities. Order your tickets today by calling 776-7159. Sponsorships are still available to promote your business.

“Sponsors will be recognized and featured on our sponsor’s banner at the event,” said Lindell. “Come and network with other business professionals.”

The most valuable gift offered by the Meals on Wheels program is the hope of seniors to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

“Our Sponsor-A-Senior program feeds those who cannot afford the cost of meals. A gift of just $35 will feed a hungry senior one meal a day for 10 days,” said Lindell. “If you cannot attend the party, be a sponsor, or pledge your support to end senior hunger.”

Meals will not be delivered on the following holidays: Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th.
