Meals That Connect is hosting their 11th annual “Night of a Million Meals” event on Saturday, May 12 to raise money to feed San Luis Obispo County seniors.
Meals That Connect is a nonprofit organization that provides seniors 60 years of age and over with free hot meals throughout SLO County. Daily noontime meals are served to 1,800 seniors at ten locations in the county and delivered to seniors who are homebound.
The “Night of a Million Meals” event will be held at The Cliff’s Resort on Saturday, May 12 at 5:30 p.m. This year’s theme is Monopoly: Take a Walk on The Boardwalk and will feature champagne, valet parking, and casino hour included with your ticket as well as exciting silent and live auctions. This event is the largest annual event hosted by the nonprofit. MTC must raise 50% of their funding annually and this gala is an important part of the full budget for the program allowing the nonprofit to provide seniors with the meals they need.
The nonprofit meals don’t just provide necessary nutrition to the seniors in the county they also provide a community. Every weekday, seniors gather together at dining rooms throughout the county to eat together, share stories and build friendships. For those who are unable to leave their homes, volunteers personally deliver meals, using those visits as opportunities to check in on the seniors.
This year’s event will feature ground-floor tickets to Elton John’s final tour, a one week stay in a Tuscan villa, a Fall Foliage Tour by Rail and much more!
Tickets for this year’s “Night of a Million Meals” are $100 and can be purchased on our website mealsthatconnect.org or by calling 805-541-3312.
