In celebration of the 5th Annual Light the Night for Senior Hunger campaign, Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana will host a Kickoff Lighting Ceremony for luminaries and the new Holiday Lights Display with NIPSCO and other supporters on November 29th from 5 to 5:30 p.m. at Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana in Merrillville. With investment of their volunteers and community partners, Meals on Wheels delivers hot, nutritious meals to seniors, children, and other adults who need nutritional support. Funding for meals is provided by individuals receiving meals, private foundations, grants and donations. More information about Meals on Wheels can be found at www.mownwi.org
Light the Night for Senior Hunger is the year-end fundraising campaign for Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana (MOW). Every $25 donation lights a luminary at MOW from November 29 – January 4 2019. Thanks to a donation from NIPSCO, every donation of $50 or more will be matched up to $10,000.
Luminaries shine on the MOW campus as a symbol of hope for the nutrition, health, and wellbeing of NWI seniors. The goal is to raise $65,000 to deliver more than 13,000 meals and wellness checks. New this year is a kickoff event with cookies and cocoa, a chance to light a luminary, share words of hope, and a Holiday Lights Display at MOW at the corner of 84th and Virginia in Merrillville.
