Amazing Support
BY CHRISTI BURTON • 06/21/2023 ZIP06 Guilford Courier
Meals on Wheels would like to thank The Market Place at Guilford Food Center for choosing our organization to be the beneficiary of the “Round Up” program in July. Every month they choose a very worthwhile local cause or organization to support, and we truly appreciate being part of this program. We also appreciate the customers who choose to round up for us.
Secondly, we would like to thank the St. George Mens Group. All year long, they do wonderful things in our community. In May, they held a fun, unique event called the Murder Mystery at St. George Church, of which Meals on Wheels was the chosen beneficiary.
We are truly blessed to have such amazing support from our community.
