Michael Cox used to help his mother, April, deliver Meals-on-Wheels, and it made quite an impression on him -- so much so that he opened a coffee and lemonade stand last month to raise money for the program. Advertising that "$100 is all it takes to provide meals for a month to one elderly person," Michael not only met his goal of $100.00, but with a 10% match from Sociale Gourmet, where his mother works and where he opened his stand, he raised $225.00! See Michael presenting his earnings to Meals-on-Wheels Director Linda Kearsley on September 9.

Senior Services has established a partnership with the Forsyth Humane Society to help homebound seniors on a fixed income feed their pets. Every two weeks the Humane Society will be delivering cat and dog food to Senior Services. Donations from the community are also welcome. Volunteers and staff of Senior Services will deliver the pet food to seniors in need who have a dog or a cat. See WGHP-Fox 8 News's story on the new service.
