Lives are often saved in the course of delivering meals when a person does not respond to a knock on the door, has fallen or may have become ill. With an increase in the 65+ age category over the next 20 years by 72%, our seniors are in need of support now more than ever.

On Saturday, June 11, 2016, Meals-on-Wheels will be hosting their largest annual fundraising event of the year, The Ragin’ Cajun Bayou Blowout at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. There, they will be holding a live and silent auction to help raise money to support San Diego’s seniors and beat their last fundraising record of $215,000.
