2012 Friends of Meals on Wheels Epicurean Esprit.

Friends of Meals on Wheels are planning their 23rd Annual Epicurean Esprit at Tandem Properties located at 3500 Anderson Road, Davis, Ca. on May 24, 2012.
This is a fun event with all proceeds benefiting Elderly Nutrition Program in Yolo County.

Don't miss the 2012 Epicurean Esprit coming in May 2012.

Last year’s Esprit drew more than 500 community members and business leaders, who sampled the area’s best wines and cuisine, and enjoyed excellent live music on the lovely grounds of Trish and Kim Timothy. The event raised nearly $30,000, which helped fund almost 81,000 nutritious meals, friendship and vital support services to over 1100 Yolo County seniors.

Last year we served over 82,000 noontime meals (approx. 375 per day) to almost 1,400 seniors, 60 years and older, throughout Yolo County-Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Esparto, Knights Landing and Woodland. Meals on Wheels is a world-wide concept with organizations everywhere, who provide nutritious meals to people who are homebound and/or disabled, or would otherwise be unable to maintain their dietary needs. The daily delivery consists of a meal; a nutritionally balanced meal to eat at lunch time.

In an effort both to cover costs and to maintain the elders' sense of dignity, the program asks a small fee based on the individual's ability to pay. These payments are entirely voluntary, no one is refused a meal due to their inability to pay.

Our seniors must rely upon us, and our program relies on our sponsors, donors and volunteers to help us serve the needs of our Yolo County seniors.
