December 2017 Director’s Message

Dear Members,
Merry December!

We’re so excited to celebrate this most wonderful time of year with you! As you look at the calendar of events, there are many opportunities to join in on the festivities that the Christmas month brings.

We’ve just wrapped up a beautiful month of Thanksgiving and many different fundraisers. We completed our Holiday Bazaar with a whopping 40 vendors! This annual event brings us so much joy. We thank every hand that helped make this a successful fundraiser! The Winter months bring another project to the Center of providing emergency meals for each and every Meals on Wheels recipient. We successfully sent out an extra 7 meals to our recipients this year! We’d like to thank the Providence Clinic of Molalla for their generous donations of staple food items, the Oregon Food Bank, Bi Mart, and our packers: Nina Rose, and Maggie and Julie Katin for their generosity. This project reassures us that in the case of inclement weather, power outages, or any other shut down of the Center, our valued recipients won’t go hungry. In addition to the donors, we’d like to extend a very special thank you to our Meals on Wheels Drivers who delivered ALL of that EXTRA food! We are blessed beyond measure by the generosity that continues to pour into these needs.

It’s our heart’s desire that the Center brings you cheer this Holiday season in the very way that you’re needing it!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas,

Cecily Rose
Director
