Meals on Wheels and More employee Connie Evers used her social network on Facebook to raise awareness and money for Meals on Wheels and More.
When her birthday was approaching, she sent out a message to all of her friends asking for donations to Meals on Wheels and More in lieu of birthday gifts. “As a Social Worker, I see firsthand the impact that Meals on Wheels makes for our clients. I have clients that this is the only nutritious meal they will have for the day,” she said. “I wanted my birthday to focus on the needs of others rather than on myself and thought Facebook would be an easy way to let my friends know about this important cause.”
