To The Editor,

Happy New Year!

On behalf of all of us here at St. Joseph Community Services, the provider of Meals on Wheels, I’d like to thank the community for their overwhelming generosity to our annual Holiday Gift Tag Program. Because of the generosity of your response every single one of our Meals on Wheels participants not only received a hot meal but they also received a little bit of holiday cheer. This year we were able to provide a holiday gift for each of our 1,280 homebound and disabled clients. We knew that this would not be an easy feat, especially in the present economy.

Each client received a small gift bag including much needed and appreciated necessities and goodies such as soaps, snacks, scarves and warm blankets. One of our recipients wrote, “I want to thank you heartedly for the wonderful present. I have no family – so no Christmas presents. Thank you ever so much, you truly brightened my day.”

If you would like to help us make a difference in an elder’s life please donate online at www.mealsonwheelsnh.org or mail a check to us at St. Joseph Community Services, PO Box 910, Merrimack, NH, 03054.
