MOBILE MEALS Adopt-a-Senior
- In Mobile Meals Adopt-a-Senior Program,
you can provide hot, nutritious lunches for a frail, homebound
senior citizen in your community for one month, one year or
more. Just $58.50 provides Mobile Meals (Mon. – Fri.) for
one senior citizen in Knoxville or Knox County for the entire
month. When you give $741, you provide Mobile Meals for a year!
One hundred percent
of every dollar goes directly to providing meals for Knox County
seniors. And providing those nutritious meals for an elderly
person is a perfect project for your business, church, civic
group, or family. Mobile Meals delivers meals to people age
60 and older who are too frail or sick to prepare their own
meals and who have no other way to get a hot, well-balanced
meal a day. It costs just 2.85 a day, that’s $61.75 a month,
or $741.00 a year to help seniors in need in our area.
