What is Kitsap Great Give?We are extremely grateful to our past contributors and proud to be participating in Kitsap Great Give once again. The Kitsap Great Give is a 24-hour, online giving event organized by the Kitsap Community Foundation and our Presenting Partner, the United Way of Kitsap County, for the benefit of the greater Kitsap area.
Donations we receive during the Kitsap Great Give campaign will be used to provide nutritious, well-balanced meals, a friendly smile, a safety check and more to Kitsap County seniors, so they can continue to live independently with dignity in their own homes. For 24 hours on March 11, you may visit the Kitsap Great Give site and make a donation to Meals on Wheels Kitsap and any other organization of your choosing. The best part is that every dollar you donate will be proportionally matched by the event sponsors. Your donation can also help us to win extra donation prizes throughout the day. We hope you'll consider being a part of the biggest day of charity ever in Kitsap County. We are now accepting donations on our donor page via the Kitsap Great Give site. If you wish to make a donation, please click the blue "Pledge Your Support Now" button above or enter this URL https://www.kitsapgreatgive.org/organization/meals-on-wheels-kitsap into your browser. Impact
Meals on Wheels Kitsap receives support from a variety of sources including client donations, government funding, corporate and foundation grants, and business and individual contributions. As the population of individuals aged 60 years and older continues to grow and with ever-increasing food and fuel costs, our current funding cannot keep up. In order to continue meeting this demand, we are constantly seeking additional funding in order to maintain the quality services we've provided over the past 51 years.
Last year, we provided nearly 75,000 meals to senior clients throughout Kitsap County. We have never turned away anyone who needed a meal, and it is our goal never to do so. With your help, we can achieve this goal. Meals on Wheels Kitsap is more than just a meal! With your support, we will be able to continue caring for our most vulnerable neighbors by providing a healthy meal, a friendly smile, and most importantly, peace of mind in knowing that someone is watching over them. Thank you for helping us make a difference for seniors in our community. Funds received from the Kitsap Great Give will be used to provide nutritious, well-balanced meals, a friendly smile, a safety check and more to Kitsap County seniors so they can continue to live independently with dignity in their own homes. |
