Your Meals on Wheels has grown from 150 local grandparents served annually to nearly 900+ receiving our meals.

This is an approximate 600% increase over the last 3 years  

We are growing at a rate of 14 new people a week.

This translates from 39,000 meals a year to over 150,000 meals being prepared annually in our kitchen. Often, we are the last ones that provide a meal, hug, smile, holiday, and prayer before they move on to be with the Lord.

With the growing demand of our services, the massive increase in food costs, real estate, gas, and other resources we are asking you to sponsor our “Gala for Grandparents” on September 9, 2022, to help raise awareness in our community and to meet the needs of thousands upon thousands of our future grandparents.

“Gala for Grandparents”
Wild Wing Plantation
1000 Wild Wing Blvd. | Conway, SC  29526
Friday, September 9, 2022
Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
**Business Casual Attire Recommended**

 
Will you join us in our effort to help local grandparents who in most cases have nobody else?
Please know we are a 501(C)(3), 100% locally funded and receive no local, state, or federal funds.
