Meals On Wheels Receives Walmart Foundation Grant

Pickens County Meals on Wheels received a $1,000 contribution to assist with providing meals for homebound seniors in the Easley area.

The grant – made possible by the Wal-Mart Foundation’s Local Store Giving Program – will help purchase meals in support of the Meals on Wheels’ home meal delivery program. 

The Meals on Wheels program provides a nutritious noon time meal Monday thru Friday to over 230 homebound, elderly and disabled recipients in Pickens County.  “Every contribution counts, this contribution from the Walmart Foundation couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Meta Bowers, Executive Director of Pickens County Meals on Wheels.  “We would like to recognize Mr. Lee Jolie, Store Manager of Walmart in Easley for his role in securing this community grant. We are extremely grateful to receive this assistance as we continue to serve our community’s homebound, elderly and disabled seniors.”

Pickens County Meals on Wheels, a 501(c) (3) charitable organization that is supported by individuals, churches, church groups, schools, businesses, the United Way, civic and service organizations, is the largest home-meal delivery provider in Pickens County having served over 42,000 meals this year.
