Independent Living, Inc. is pleased to announce that its Evening Meals on Wheels program has been awarded a $1,000 grant from Subaru of America, Inc. and Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) as part of Subaru’s “Share the Love” campaign.  The grant funding will help the Evening Meals on Wheels program serve nutritious meals to seniors in need during the month of December 2009. 

Subaru will continue its mission to give back to charities in need.  The “Share the Love” campaign will run from November 21, 2009 to January 4, 2010 and Independent Living is partnering with Don Miller Subaru of Madison to share the love locally.

Each weeknight Independent Living’s dedicated volunteers deliver more than 200 nourishing meals to frail, homebound and disabled older adults throughout Dane County. The delicious meals not only provide a source of quality nutrition but the volunteer’s visit also serves as a safety check and for some recipients, the only human contact they will have that day.

You can help by making a contribution to support Evening Meals on Wheels. Call (608) 274-7900 and ask about delivering meals in your community or how to Adapt-A-Route with friends or co-workers.  To support this important program, send your contribution to: Independent Living, Inc. 815 Forward Drive, Madison, WI 53711 or visit http://www.indepenliving.com
