Morris: Support the ‘Sponsor a Meal’ program at Redmond Senior Center

Published 2:15 am Friday, June 21, 2024

In the heart of Redmond, a heartwarming initiative is making a significant impact on the lives of our beloved seniors. The “Sponsor a Meal” program at the Redmond Senior Center is more than just a meal provision service — it’s a beacon of hope, compassion and community spirit.

The program aims to provide nutritious and delicious meals to local seniors who may otherwise struggle to access healthy food. It’s an inclusive initiative where community members and local businesses come together to ensure our elders receive the nourishment they need and deserve. Whether it’s a one-time sponsorship or a recurring contribution, every bit of support counts.

Hospice of Redmond goes above and beyond by sponsoring veteran meals on the third Wednesday of each month. This generous gesture ensures that our veterans receive free meals, honoring their service and providing them with the care they so richly deserve. By dedicating resources specifically for veterans, Hospice of Redmond not only offers sustenance but also a sense of respect and recognition for their invaluable contributions.

You can help. For $1,200, you can sponsor a full year of meals for our Redmond seniors. This substantial contribution not only guarantees a year of nutritious meals but also offers a “sponsorship day” each month. On this day, sponsors can promote their business through presentations or other means, with additional advertising on the Senior Center’s social media outlets, newsletter and website. All donations are tax-deductible, making it a win-win situation.

If a year-long commitment seems daunting, consider sponsoring six months of meals for $600. This option includes a monthly “sponsorship day” and the same advertising benefits as the annual sponsorship.

For those who prefer to make a smaller, yet equally impactful, contribution you can donate meals individually at $5 per meal. You can choose the number of meals you’d like to sponsor, making it a flexible option for everyone who wishes to help.

The beauty of the “Sponsor a Meal” program lies in its ability to bring people together. Through this initiative, we’re feeding our seniors and building a stronger, more caring community. Every meal sponsored is a message of love and support to our elders, reminding them they are valued and cherished.

We invite you to join us in this noble cause. Your sponsorship can change a life, providing a meal and a sense of belonging and care. By sponsoring a meal, you contribute to our seniors’ well-being and strengthen our community’s fabric.

Together, we can ensure that every senior in Redmond never goes hungry. Visit our website to learn more and make your contribution: https://redmondseniors.org/meal-sponsorship.
