SeniorCare Meals on Wheels Fundraiser at Pomodori Pizzeria in Ipswich

SeniorCare Inc. will hold a fundraiser at Pomodori Roast Beef, Pizzeria & Seafood, located at 146 High Street in Ipswich, on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pomodori will donate 15% of all orders placed—both dine-in and take-out—if the order is accompanied by a special SeniorCare fundraiser coupon. (The coupon must accompany the order. Download and print the coupon at www.seniorcareinc.org.)

The event will benefit SeniorCare’s Meals on Wheels program as part of the national “March for Meals” awareness campaign. Meals on Wheels was recently acknowledged in a report to Congress by the National Commission on Hunger, Freedom from Hunger: An Achievable Goal for the United States of America. In the report, Meals on Wheels was recognized as a proven public-private partnership that addresses the growing problems of senior hunger and isolation and is an integral component of our nation's healthcare system.

SeniorCare Inc.’s Meals on Wheels program brings a daily meal right to the door for frail and homebound elders, Monday through Friday. Menus are designed by nutrition experts to meet the needs of older adults and are prepared by a professional caterer. In addition, homebound elders have a daily interaction with the delivery team—sometimes their only human contact that day. SeniorCare currently delivers Meals on Wheels to more than 550 elders each day. Annually, this means 136,216 home-delivered meals and 39,250 meals served at dining sites in Beverly, Gloucester, Essex, Manchester, Rockport, Ipswich, Hamilton, Topsfield, and Wenham.
