Join walk and help feed elderly people
Supporters of the Elderly Nutrition Program can get in shape and help their cause at the 22nd annual Miles for Meals walkathon from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 6. Sponsored by the Friends of Meals on Wheels, the walk will be inside the County Fair Mall in Woodland.
Walkers will receive a T-shirt for a minimum pledge of $25 and a sweatshirt for a minimum pledge of $200. Prizes will be awarded for most laps walked, most money pledged and oldest walker in different age, gender and group categories.
Walkers and visitors are asked to bring a can of food to be distributed to needy elderly residents.
Friends of Meals on Wheels provides funds to the Elderly Nutrition Program of Yolo County by coordinating fundraisers such as the walkathon, Holiday Home Tour and Epicurean Esprit.
The funds help provide hot, nutritious meals to homebound senior citizens throughout Yolo County. More than 325 daily meals are served in Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto and Knights Landing.
About 150 walkers are expected to participate and hope to raise an estimated $10,000.
To receive a registration packet or get more information, call (530) 662-7035.
