SOME (So Others Might Eat) supports many of Washington D.C.’s seniors, low-income adults and homeless people with services ranging from meals to medical care. For three days, Groupon is hosting a campaign to benefit this 
organization by collecting donations that will provide bottles of Ensure to SOME’s senior clients. Every $10 donation will enable the program to purchase four bottles of Ensure. To help SOME, visit Groupon and share the following link with your family and friends. http://www.groupon.com/deals/gt-some!
Like many Senior Nutrition Programs, Cherokee County Meals on Wheels, is located in a small, rural community suffering from double-digit unemployment. With increasing demands for its services, decreasing donations and no government funding, the program relies on local support and grants to continue serving its frail, elderly and disabled clients.
Over the month of January, Cherokee County Meals on Wheels received more support than usual, thanks to its local We Are Meals On Wheels campaign efforts.
Since promoting the campaign through its quarterly newsletter, a month long television broadcast, Mayoral Proclamations and articles in its local papers, Cherokee County Meals on Wheels has received $2,500 from local business partners, eight new volunteers and food from a local restaurant that will help serve 1,200 new meals. The program is now also eligible for a $5,000 MOWAA We Are Meals On Wheels Public Awareness Incentive Grant for promoting the national campaign locally.
Below is one of Cherokee County Meals on Wheels’ articles, which was featured in The Gaffney Ledger.
