Bountiful Bowl fundraiser supports nutritious meals for homebound seniors and adults with disabilities.
Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley (MOWGLV) raised over $50,000 during its annual Bountiful Bowl fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 7, at B Social. The proceeds will help provide nutritious meals to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities who might otherwise struggle to afford them.
Approximately 75% of MOWGLV’s clients receive subsidized meals. Proceeds from the event will support the nonprofit’s Meal Subsidy Program, helping to bridge the gap between the cost of providing meals and what clients can afford. The funds are expected to support approximately XXX subsidized meals.
“Bountiful Bowl is a wonderful example of what our community can accomplish when people come together around a shared purpose,” said Melanie Kohler, chief executive officer of MOWGLV. “Every dollar raised helps us continue providing nutritious meals and the support our clients need to remain independent at home. We are grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this possible.”
The event featured a family-friendly bowling session from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by an adults-only evening celebration featuring bowling, food, drinks and table games.
