GAF donates $20,000 to Meals on Wheels O.C.
The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) donated $20,000 to Meals on Wheels Orange County (MOWOC) to help those in need.
These grant funds will reduce hunger and isolation for foodinsecure, home-bound Leisure World residents aged 60 or older. Qualified recipients will receive three meals daily, five days a week, delivered by a friendly driver. They will also receive case management and supportive services that will help them live with wellness and dignity in the homes and community they love.
MOWOC is the largest nonprofit provider of nutrition and supportive services for at-risk older adults, serving 20 Orange County cities. For 55 years, the organization has been committed to erasing hunger and loneliness for at-risk older adults through nutritious meals, friendly visits, safety checks and keeping families together through day services.
