Cintas Center at Xavier University

The Meals on Wheels, second annual Meals Madness gala will help us serve our community’s 10,000 seniors throughout 13 counties in Ohio and Kentucky. This celebratory evening will include dinner, drinks, entertainment, and an auction. A special program will honor FocusCFO Principal Paul McPherson Brunner for his contributions and service to Meals on Wheels, and will recognize the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio as Meals on Wheels’ Partnership of the Year. Get into the thrill of the NCAA March Madness tournament by helping us drive our mission!

March also marks the 53rd anniversary of the addition of a national nutrition program for seniors to the Older Americans Act. This legislation supported the rapid growth of the Meals on Wheels America network which now collectively serves 2.8 million seniors each year.
