Meals-on-Wheels Launches "E-news Updates" for Community

Exciting changes are happening at Meals-on-Wheels of Johnson and Ellis Counties! In order to better inform others about the organization, Meals-on-Wheels will begin sending “e-news updates” by email on a regular basis.

“The website has been a great addition in communicating with our donors, volunteers, and clients. In addition, it has brought new people to our organization,” said Amy Jackson, director of development. “Each person involved in Meals-on-Wheels is a valued friend and partner. Therefore, we want everyone to be better informed and share the Meals-on-Wheels ‘story’ with others,” added Jackson.

Meals-on-Wheels also encourages those that receive the email to share it with others, and let them know about what Meals-on-Wheels is doing in their community to better serve the homebound elderly and disabled.

The “e-news updates” will not only be informational, but will direct the recipient to the Meals-on-Wheels website. The site is regularly updated and designed to bring awareness to the organization, as well as highlighting opportunities to become more involved. The user may read up-to-date news releases, directly contact Meals-on-Wheels staff, access the quarterly newsletter, the Bread Basket, and even donate online! The donation page is secure, so that credit cards may be used. Memorial or honor donations can also be given online.

“We appreciate the continued community support of Meals-on-Wheels, and hope that better communication will increase awareness of our needs and the needs of the homebound population we serve,” remarked Jackson.

If you are interested in receiving these “e-news updates,” please sign up or contact Meals-on-Wheels at info@mowjec.org. Meals-on-Wheels of Johnson & Ellis Counties is a community-based, non-profit organization serving the homebound since 1977.
