GAF donates to Meals on Wheels Long Beach
The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) donated $2,000 to Meals on Wheels, Long Beach (MOWLB) on behalf of Sunshine Club.
Meals On Wheels Long Beach helps Leisure World residents remain safe, socially connected and nourished at home for as long as possible. The program is available to all Leisure World residents who are having difficulty preparing or shopping for meals due to the aging process, an illness, recent surgery, or a chronic health condition.
Donations from the Golden Age Foundation (GAF) are directed to residents in Leisure World, covering the daily fee for qualified, low-income residents. MOWLB began delivering to the Leisure World Seal Beach community in 2013. Over the past 10 years the program’s staff and volunteers have been honored to serve the amazing residents of LW. Each weekday, two freshly prepared meals—a hot dinner, complete lunch, dessert and a beverage—are delivered to program members with a friendly visit and wellness check. Deliveries are made by caring and trained community volunteers. Volunteers provide a valuable social connection for those homebound residents who are isolated and alone.
The Golden Age Foundation is proud for its partnership with Meals On Wheels Long Beach in providing this valuable service to LW neighbors.
