This March, the Sandy Community and Senior Center invites you to be part of something truly meaningful through our March for Meals Campaign — a month-long series of fundraising events designed to raise awareness and support for the Sandy Meals on Wheels program.
For more than 30 years, the Sandy Community and Senior Center has proudly served Meals on Wheels to local seniors who are homebound and in need. Last year alone, we provided nearly 11,000 nutritious meals to almost 100 vulnerable older adults in our community. But Meals on Wheels is about more than food. Each delivery offers our seniors a friendly face, a wellness check, and a vital connection that helps seniors remain healthy, independent, and socially connected.
Throughout the month of March, we’re coming together as a community to ensure this essential program continues to thrive. Whether you attend an event, dine out, buy a raffle ticket, or become a sponsor, your participation directly supports seniors who rely on these meals.
Meals on Wheels Sponsorship Opportunities
Businesses and individuals can make an even greater impact by becoming a Meals on Wheels sponsor. Sponsorship packages offer a meaningful way to support seniors while demonstrating your commitment to the community.
Bingo & Dinner Fundraiser – Friday, March 13
We will be hosting a fun and heartwarming evening at our Bingo & Dinner Fundraiser, taking place from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday, March 13th. Guests will enjoy a delicious dinner, four exciting games of Bingo, and the chance to win a variety of great prizes — all while supporting a cause that truly matters. Space is limited to 50 participants, so advance registration is required. Registration opens February 13!
Restaurant Fundraisers – All Month Long!
Throughout March, local restaurants will partner with us by donating a percentage of their sales to the Sandy Meals on Wheels program. Simply dine at participating locations and help support seniors with every bite. An updated list of participating restaurants will be announced soon — visit the Sandy March for Meals website to learn more and plan your meals for a cause!
Raffle Baskets - All Month Long!
Try your luck with our March raffle baskets! A variety of exciting raffle items will be announced through the City of Sandy website, social media pages, and the Sandy Source city newsletter. Raffle tickets will be sold all month long, with winners announced at the beginning of April. Tickets can be purchased at the Community and Senior Center in person or by calling (503) 668-5569.
