Meals on Wheels gala to support seniors

Meals on Wheels Diablo Region invites guests to join them for a night of dining, dancing, and fun at the Dining to Deliver Gala on Saturday, June 10 at the Blackhawk Museum at 3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle in, Danville to help support vulnerable seniors.

The gala begins at 6 p.m., and dinner starts at about 7.

Meals on Wheels Diablo Region has been delivering meals and life-saving services to seniors since 1968. In the past year alone, they delivered over 600,000 meals. The need for its support services has grown, the group’s statistics show. Fall prevention has increased by 150%, more seniors are receiving friendly visits and calls to prevent social isolation, and care management helps seniors struggling with depression, evic- tions, and elder abuse. With senior needs increasing, this event is crucial to continue providing these services.

The gala will host live music by the Timebandits, a dance band from Solano County that performed at last year’s event.
