Give Gift Of Meals To Forsyth Seniors This Holiday Season

Donations to the county's Senior Services holiday program will go to Meals on Wheels, which visits homebound senior citizens.

CUMMING, GA — Forsyth County residents can give the gift of a nutritious meal, friendly visit and safety check to homebound senior citizens this holiday season.

Forsyth County Senior Services has launched the 2017 Home-Delivered Meals Holiday Gift Certificate program. Meals bought through the program will be delivered through the Meals on Wheels program.

"The Meals on Wheels program does not only provide a warm and healthy meal. A meal delivery offers seniors valuable social interaction and a safety check," said Senior Services Director Ruthie Brew. "Forsyth County Senior Services is proud of the support this program receives – not only during the holidays, but year-round. These meal deliveries truly make a difference for a senior in need."
