Give the Gift of Meals to Forsyth Seniors This Holiday Season
Forsyth County Seniors Services in Cumming is offering its Home-Delivered Meal Gift Certificate Program for 2013.
Participate in the 2013 Home-Delivered Meal Holiday Gift Certificate Program and help brighten the holiday season for Forsyth County home-bound senior citizens. Meals purchased with a holiday gift certificate through Forsyth County Senior Services will be delivered through the Meals on Wheels program.
Forsyth County Senior Services Director Michael Bohn said there is a continuous need for home-delivered meals for senior citizens.
“Anyone choosing to support the Home-Delivered Meal Holiday Gift Certificate Program will be making a positive impact for our local seniors,” he said in a release. “Recent years have shown an increasing demand for our Meals on Wheels program and that need typically grows during the holiday season.”
Those interested in participating may choose to provide meals for a day, week, month or year. The cost is $3.53 for one meal, $17.65 for one week, $77.66 for one month, and $917.80 for the entire year. Gifts may be tax-deductible.
Checks should be made payable to Forsyth County Senior Services, Holiday Gift Certificate Program, and may be mailed or delivered to the following address:
Forsyth County Senior Services
595 Dahlonega Street
Cumming, GA 30040
All meals delivered from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day will include a special certificate to wish happy holidays from the meal provider.
Senior Services has set a goal of delivering 4,500 meals to local senior citizens this holiday season.
