SSM Health at Home has been providing Meals on Wheels to the Greater Madison community for over 50 years, according to a news release. Today the program provides over 300 nutritious midday meals, Monday–Friday, to residents of Madison, Middleton, and Monona.
March for Meals is an annual fundraising and awareness campaign created by Meals on Wheels America. This year, SSM Health at Home is holding a Virtual 5k March for Meals. Participants can help support their neighbors in need, choosing to run or walk in the virtual event. The 5k can be completed all at once or over the course of the “march” which runs from March 21 to June 30. Funds raised from March for Meals will help bridge gaps in program funding, making sure everyone who needs the nutrition and safety check SSM Health at Home’s Meals on Wheels program provides receives it.
Additionally, this spring, Goodman Community Center will expand its support and become the contracted caterer for the SSM Health at Home Meals on Wheels Program. Goodman Community Center currently prepares meals for its in-house programs. Over the next month, they will be ramping up production to provide an additional 300 meals a day to meet the needs of SSM Health at Home’s Meals on Wheels recipients.
