OPERATION IMPACT: HELPING SENIORS WEATHER THE STORM

WHAT IS OPERATION IMPACT?

Operation IMpact is a special project to help prepare homebound seniors across our community for Hurricane Season. Volunteers will deliver five days’ worth of shelf-stable meals and bottled water, as well as emergency information and supplies, to more than 4,300 Meals on Wheels clients, some of the most vulnerable members of our community. This will ensure they are prepared in case IM’s regular deliveries are interrupted by a storm. Just two years ago we were all reminded by Hurricane Harvey how vitally important this program is!

HOW WILL OPERATION IMPACT WORK?

Each volunteer Group Leader will pick up shelf-stable meals, cases of water and supply packets from one of our pickup locations on behalf of their group. Your group of volunteers will deliver supplies to the clients’ homes. Group Leaders will receive detailed training and instructions to help their group members understand their roles.

HOW CAN I HELP WITH OPERATION IMPACT?

Form a Group. Recruit volunteers to join your group! Ask members of your company, congregation, youth group, civic organization, or school to participate with you. Or form a group with family and friends. Register your group here. Then spread the news about Operation IMpact!

DONATE NOW

Your group will also be given the resources to help raise funds to support Operation IMpact and Meals on Wheels. Every dollar raised helps cover the cost of these emergency meals. Even if you can't volunteer on May 4th, your gift today and spreading the word will help us meet our $50,000 goal for this life-saving initiative.
