South Suburban Golf Leagues Unite to Raise $8,603 for Nourish Meals on Wheels to Combat Food Insecurity and Isolation

We are thrilled to announce the incredible support shown by the five South Suburban golf leagues that came together to raise $8,603 for Nourish Meals on Wheels. Their collective efforts have made a significant impact on our mission, and we are filled with gratitude for their generosity!

A heartfelt thank you goes to Linda Baker and the Par 3 Ladies for spearheading this effort. Your leadership, dedication, and ongoing support made this achievement possible.

Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." This sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of collaboration and compassion demonstrated by each of these leagues. Thanks to their donations, we will be able to deliver 2,868 hot, delicious, scratch-made meals to older adults in our community.

For 56 years, Nourish has enriched the lives of seniors by providing nutritious meals and services that promote dignity, well-being, and independence. Last year alone, we delivered more than 201,000 meals infused with love and catered to individual dietary needs and preferences.

What sets Nourish apart is the special connection we build with our clients. Our volunteers' visits are often the highlight of their day, offering not just a meal but also friendship and a sense of belonging. One client shared, "This service has provided more than well-balanced meals. I have made lasting friendships with some of the drivers. That has been very special for me."

Research shows that daily hot meals and regular visits can improve mental health, reduce feelings of isolation, and help our clients maintain their independence. One family member told us, "It has been the best thing we have done to support my dad who has dementia. It takes so much stress off me as a caregiver and our entire family.”

Your support ensures our neighbors do not face hunger or loneliness alone. Together, we are stronger and making a profound difference.

Thank you to the South Suburban Par 3 Ladies, Ladies 9 Hole, Ladies 18 Hole, Senior Men’s Club, and Men’s Club for your incredible generosity and support.
