Program Mission
To enhance the quality of life of
adults by promoting, sponsoring and
coordinating programs and services
that advocate for independence and
well-being.
A Gift of Time or Money
Imagine the impact
Did you know that the inability to grocery shop and prepare food is a major contributing factor to
people having to leave their homes and move to residential facilities? Last year, the generosity of
financial supporters along with the 152 kind-hearted volunteer drivers resulted in 18,274 meals
served to senior citizens and individuals with disabilities, and helped many to remain in their homes.
With your help, this valuable service can continue
Every year we count on donations from organizations and individuals like you to sustain this valuable service to the
community. This year we have a specific financial need beyond food and supply costs. We need to replace our walk-
in cooler, which was installed in 1951 and is original to the building. Our most affordable option is to purchase a
used cooler, but even so, our total cost for the cooler, renovation, and installation is estimated to be around $20,000.
(A new cooler would cost significantly more!) Our normal operating budget cannot bear this expense without
additional donations.
With only one paid staff position, this program is 100% dependent on volunteers for the delivery of meals. Delivery
takes approximately one hour and training is provided. We have the ability to be very flexible in scheduling drivers.
All you need is a valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle. You will be asked to complete a background check and
volunteer application prior to driving a delivery route
Thank you for your commitment to the community
Please consider a monetary gift and/or becoming a volunteer driver this year to help ensure that Gladstone Meals
