Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among seniors? Meals on Wheels Takoma Park plays a crucial role in preventing such incidents by delivering nutritious meals to at-risk adults in the community, leading to an 85% reduction in falls. - In this episode, Executive Director Ruth Masterson speaks with host Jamie Truman about the organization’s significant growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, they served 56,000 meals to those in need and are expecting that number to keep growing. To support the increased demand, their mission is to expand their reach and social impact in the community, starting with their first in-person fundraiser on May 16th. The spaghetti dinner and auction event is open to the public and marks a new chapter of the organization's engagement with the community. - Tune in to learn more about how you can support their efforts in the community! - Don’t miss Ruth and Meals on Wheels Takoma Park at the next Bethesda’s Best Happy Hour event on April 11th at Tommy Joe’s in Bethesda, MD from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM!
