Theater Night a Huge Success! That's a Wrap!

Alberta Development withdraws plan for Marilyn Hickey Building

We are thrilled to announce the incredible success of the Nourish Meals on Wheels Theater Night, which raised nearly $117,000. This achievement is testament to the unwavering support from our community, the dedication of our passionate volunteers, and the incredible generosity of our sponsors. The night was filled with warmth and camaraderie, as long-time friends gathered to forge new connections. Our remarkable restaurant partners donated culinary creations that tantalized our taste buds. Attendees sipped crisp glasses of wine and buzzed with excitement while purchasing last-minute raffle tickets. Who would be the lucky winner of an unforgettable dinner for six with our renowned Chef Geoff? Who would proudly display the beautifully framed and autographed photo of the sensational Nikola Jokić?

Before the captivating melodies of Memphis filled the air, guests were treated to a heartwarming video, showcasing the incredible work Nourish is doing in our community. The culmination of the night arrived with an enthralling tale of Huey, a young white radio DJ, whose love for exceptional music transcended racial barriers and permeated the airwaves. The extraordinary talent of the cast unified the audience, reminding us of the power of music and love.

We extend our deepest appreciation to every single person who played a role in making this night a success. Whether you purchased a raffle ticket, attended the event, volunteered your time, or were a generous sponsor, we thank you for making a profound impact on the lives of seniors and homebound adults!

About Nourish Meals On Wheels

Last year, Nourish Meals on Wheels delivered 190,000 meals to seniors and homebound adults. While this statistic is impressive on its own, with every nutritious meal delivered, we also promote dignity, well-being, and independence.

MORE THAN A MEAL

We deliver moments of genuine connection. Our volunteer drivers arrive at the door with more than great food. They pay attention to the details, like a birthday or a beloved pet, and recognize the little things—an untouched meal, an unanswered door, or a troublesome cough.

Isolation is dissolved with the ring of each doorbell and our volunteer’s familiar smile. These visits provide a lifeline to the community, offering a sense of security and comfort, knowing that someone genuinely cares and is there to check on them.

We celebrate our clients’ birthdays with cake, heartfelt cards, and small gifts, ensuring that milestones are remembered. On holidays, we deliver special meals, complete with themed tray favors, bringing a sense of joy and festivity to their homes.

During our 12 Days of Giving in December, our clients receive individually wrapped gifts alongside their daily meals, spreading cheer and brightening their spirits.

Truly Enriching Lives

Cecelia recently shared her sister’s, story with us. Prescilla’s husband recently passed away, and in her overwhelming grief she was not eating consistently. This lack of proper nutrition affected her health in many negative ways, causing her family great concern. After just one month of receiving meals from Nourish, her family saw a significant improvement in her health and mood.

Cecelia writes, "You have saved my sister's life by introducing delicious daily nutrition. Your knock on the door and food has been a blessing beyond words. I can finally hear the sound of hope and gratitude in her voice when she talks about both the meals and the incredible volunteers who deliver them."
