This #GivingTuesday, help us bring a warm meal and a smile to a senior in need. Through ICRC Meals on Wheels, we deliver not just meals but compassion, connection, and hope to homebound seniors in our community struggling with hunger and isolation. Your gift makes a real difference, and every dollar counts. Just $74 feeds a senior for one month, $148 provides two months of meals, and $888 supports a full year of hot, nutritious meals. Without the support of our community, many seniors would have nowhere else to turn. Thank you for helping us continue delivering meals, smiles, and hope.
