Meals on Wheels of
Lee’s Summit!
As cities across the United States celebrate March for Meals, Fox 4 visited Meals on Wheels of Lee’s Summit to focus on local government support for our program. Across the metro, Kansas City residents, from the comfort of their living rooms, were able to watch Lee’s Summit mayor Bill Baird greet our drivers and load meals into cars.
“We are fortunate to have the support of Mayor Baird and the city of Lee’s Summit,” Mike Gann, Meals on Wheels board member and local organizer of March for Meals shared. “For 6 consecutive years, Bill has worked with us to personally deliver meals to local Lee’s Summit residents and shine a light on our contribution to the community with an annual City Hall Proclamation. We are grateful to the mayor for his continued support.”
For over 20 years, Meals on Wheels programs across America have been celebrating their partnerships with local businesses, government, and the individuals who volunteer and donate. “The annual March for Meals campaign commemorates President Nixon’s national nutrition program, signed into law March of 1972,” Mike added. “That legislation is responsible for launching Meals on Wheels programs across the United States. It’s a special month for us and all our partners in the community.”
Thank you for making Meals on Wheels of Lee’s Summit a success!
