Student Council members of Pickens High School need your help to raise money for Pickens County Meals on Wheels. This organization exists to combat the effects of hunger, loneliness, and isolation on citizens living in Pickens County, and it provides a lifeline to these citizens through the use of caring volunteers.
From accompanying my dad and grandfather on their Meals on Wheels routes, I have seen first-hand the impact the program has on seniors in our community. The volunteers not only provide a warm meal, but they also provide company for lonely seniors. Sadly, for many clients, the Meals on Wheels volunteers are often their only source of contact outside of their homes.
In 2011, Meals on Wheels served over 50,000 hot meals to 360 homebound seniors in Pickens County. With hundreds of new applicants each year, and the problem of hunger growing more widespread, Meals on Wheels needs your support now more than ever.
- $5.00 - Buys one meal for a hungry senior
- $20.00 - Feeds a senior for one week
- $100.00 - Feeds a senior for one month
- $1,200.00 - Feeds a senior for an entire year
100% of your contribution will benefit Pickens County Meals on Wheels.
Donors may send me their contact information and I will gladly email a tax receipt for their records.
Check out this video I posted on You Tube about my late grandfather's experience with Meals on Wheels. Be sure to read the full description under the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_lVlkYc3nk

They may not remember what you said. They may not remember what you did. But they will always remember the way you made them feel.

Please donate whatever amount you can, because every amount counts! Go Blue! I have personally seen how this truly helps ones that are homebound, more than just the meal!
