Community Care Northumberland is proud to announce the success of its Annual Easter Cookies Fundraiser, which raised an incredible $5,900 to support its Meals on Wheels Program.
From March 3rd to March 27th, community members embraced the opportunity to give back by purchasing Easter-themed cookies, handmade by Roda’s Kitchen. This collaborative effort between Community Care Northumberland, Roda’s Kitchen, and local supporters has resulted in the funding of 590 nutritious meals for Meals on Wheels clients across the county.
“We are incredibly thankful for the overwhelming support from our community, donors, volunteers, and especially Lucy and her team at Roda’s Kitchen for their dedication year after year,” said Jordan Prosper, CEO of Community Care Northumberland. “Through this fundraiser, we’re able to deliver 590 meals to individuals in need. Offering not only nourishment but also care and connection.”
Meals on Wheels is a cornerstone program for Community Care Northumberland, providing affordable, ready-to-eat meals to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery. The funds raised from the Easter Cookie Fundraiser will continue to support the program’s mission, ensuring it can reach more residents who rely on this vital service.
“We’re incredibly thankful for the generosity of our community and for Lucy at Roda’s Kitchen for her continued partnership,” said Sheri Birney, Manager of Nutrition Services. “We’re equally grateful to our staff and volunteers whose dedication is at the heart of this program and the impact it has.”
