Meals on Wheels receives donation from Battelle

Meals on Wheels, a program of Senior Life Resources NW, received a $5000.00 donation from Battelle in early October. Battelle is an active member in our local community and Washington state through their leadership and the contributions given to a variety of civic and philanthropic organizations. The donated funds will be used to help provide warm, balanced meals to seniors in Benton and Franklin Counties. Meals on Wheels has 8 local dining centers for seniors who are able to attend and home delivered meals for those who are homebound. Last year 173,000 meals were served with the help of 340 volunteers who gave 25,000 hours of time and drove over 92,000 miles. For more information call 735-1911.
