March For Meals makes its way to Denton; mission: to solve Senior hunger in the community DENTON (Feb. 27, 2009)—March is almost here, and the “March for Meals” campaign is getting ready to move full speed ahead. Neighbors, families and seniors in Denton are rallying together to make this month of March special for our elderly in the community that they value so much. What: March for Meals Campaign (Denton County Meals on Wheels) When: March 1 - March 31, 2009, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Where: Neighborhoods in Denton County Who: Residents and volunteers in the community Why: “So no senior goes hungry.” We believe that the seniors in Denton are valuable and should not be forgotten for their hard work and contributions to their local communities and the United States. More than 350 seniors, unable to leave their homes, rely on Meals on Wheels daily for their sustainability and nutritional needs. This number is projected to increase as the numbers may double in 2010 from the last census, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For more information about the March for Meals Campaign, or to come along and meet some of the volunteers and seniors who are participating in the Denton community, please contact me at rcrowder@ mowdenton.org.
