Although, for many of us, August is filled with summer fun, sunshine, and activities, the homebound individuals in our community are still struggling. Typically, each summer, Meals on Wheels of Monroe County holds a single MCMOW Day to humbly request extra help for our friends and neighbors. This year, we are extending those efforts to span the entire month of August in hopes of generating even more support. Please lend a hand and support the events we have planned. Your generosity and compassion are, as always, most appreciated.

Occasionally, depending upon our inventory, we can deliver even more.
