Meal of the Month Program
All the ingredients for an additional complete meal.
Our offerings (and recipes) have included meat and vegetarian lasagna, roast stuffed chicken, and beef stew. We always included lots of fresh vegetables and extras such as herbs and dinner rolls.
We also offered prepared meals from a local restaurant or supermarket to all senior citizens and some families arriving after work. Prepared meals included turkey dinners, spaghetti and meatballs and vegetarian casseroles.
Due to our growth and escalating food costs, we are unable to continue this program but are seeking funding or a sponsor to do so. Click here if you are interested in helping us re-start this program!
Our clients were thrilled to receive the meal of the month ingredients and prepared meals, and we discovered that they provided enough variety for all.
In 2020 and 2021, we purchased most of the ingredients and prepared meals but beginning in 2021 through Spring 2023, we distributed hundreds meals from local restaurants who received federal grant funds to provide them to us. We are grateful to the Rotary Club of Newton for their coordination of this effort as well as all the restaurants who participated.
We would like to offer this program again but require additional funding to do so. Click here if you are interested in funding this program!
