The Lakeport Senior Activity Center’s Meals on Wheels program was blessed by and would like to thank Mark and Lorna Higdon, and the patrons of Clearlake Club Saloon and Sports Bar of Lakeport.

The owners held a fundraiser that raised $500, and the check was presented to the senior center to help feed homebound seniors.

With one in eight seniors at risk for malnutrition due to lake of food, the meals program at the senior center works hard to provide food security to every senior in need.

Last year the center provided more than 45,000 meals thanks to its hundreds of volunteers, fundraising efforts and a generous community.

Every donation makes a big difference. For more information on ways to help stop by the Meals on Wheels Thrift Store at 120 N. Main or the Lakeport Senior Activity Center at 527 Konocti Ave, or call the center at 707-263-4218.
