As they experience isolation and loneliness daily, services supporting older adults remain critical to a healthy aging process. Meals of Joy remains committed to serving aging adults through our programs and services, working every day to fulfill our mission.

The Give65 Event, hosted by Home Instead Charities, provides us with an opportunity to rally our community to support older adults served by our programs.
