Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a great end to the year and are just as excited for 2025 as we are! We had quite the year for Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels. We turned 50 and celebrated in style with our first ever Gala! We had our most successful OktoberFeast ever! We saw growth in our meal service programs and are honored to be serving even more members of the community! We grew our family with even more community partners and are blessed to be supported by so many wonderful organizations and community members! The list goes on and on for all the great things we achieved in 2024, and we know that 2025 is going to be even better!

We have completed our Holiday Gift Program for the year with a record 473 participants! This is an increase of 100 participants compared to 2023 and we cannot be more thankful for the wonderful group of “Elves” that put all the bags together. Thank you to each community member who helped complete the wish lists, we could not have done this without your support. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped deliver these bags and to the staff who pivoted to help as needed. This is such an incredible program, and we hope that each participant got to feel how much the community supports them.

I wanted to give a HUGE thanks to all the volunteers, staff, community partners and supporters who make Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels such an amazing organization. Without each and every one of you we could not complete our mission! You all are the heart of the organization and are making a difference to so many! THANK YOU!!!
