The Meals on Wheels fundraising dinner and silent auction will be held on Nov. 15 at the Oakroom Grill.
In the recent past, the Prince George Council of Seniors has been struggling to meet the demand of the Meals on Wheels program which delivers prepared meals to seniors in need throughout our community.
When Prince George Citizen publisher Curtis Armstrong heard of their plight, he decided to help out by bringing together several businesses in town to create the fundraiser.
“Seniors being served in our community by Meals on Wheels are some of the most vulnerable residents and to think they had to go for weeks without any meal delivery was unacceptable,” Armstrong said. “Knowing how this city gets behind causes that they care about I knew we could help. We’ve got the audience, we’ve got the partnerships with various companies and organizations in the community and I thought we could come together, share a nice meal and bid on some fantastic live and silent auction items. Every dollar from the fundraiser and other initiatives is going to the Meals on Wheels program.”
In partnership with sponsor Canadian Tire, The Oakroom Grill, Northern Lights Estate Winery and Trench Brewing, the dinner sees people choose their three-course meal, pick their spot in the dining room, and choose a beverage at the same time they make their advanced-ticket purchase of $75 per person.
