To our supporters: 

Thank you for your generous and continued support of South Liberty County Meals on Wheels.  Over the past year and during a pandemic, you have made taking care of our homebound seniors a priority.  A tangled web of government bureaucracy delayed significant funding for our program during the first quarter of 2021.  However, because of supporters like you, we had enough funds in the bank to continue feeding our elderly with no interruption in services.  

The main funding source for our local Meals on Wheels program is through a partnership with the Houston Galveston Area on Aging Council (HGAC).  Each month, South Liberty County Meals on Wheels receives reimbursements from HGAC for a certain amount of meals.  Our county’s allotment is divided between South Liberty County Meals on Wheels and Cleveland’s Meals on Wheels program. 

Due to the CARES Act and the Families First Act, our funding stream was switched. Fast forward a couple of months and the new funding stream ran out of money.  Simply put, we were told by HGAC there was confusion of “where the money was at,” they were backlogged and that *eventually* we would be reimbursed.  

But because of our community’s fantastic, consistent support, our Board of Directors did not have to panic.  We did not have to hurriedly try to raise funds to cover the lapse.  We did not have to cut services.  All we had to do was cut a check (several of them). 

Thank you.  Thank you on behalf of the 65+ clients whom you serve daily.  Thank you on behalf of our delivery drivers who volunteer each week to deliver a hot meal and a smile. You are helping keep our seniors happy and healthy. 

Sincerely, 

Kim Stegall, Executive Director

South Liberty County Meals on Wheels was the lucky recipient of a $500 gift card from the Liberty Brookshire Brothers! The local business chose Meals on Wheels for a grant from their corporate office, and we are so thankful for the decision. The gift came at the perfect time; the Board of Directors had just authorized plans for a fall BBQ Potato Fundraiser luncheon. The gift card will help purchase needed grocery supplies and was a God-sent sign that the upcoming fundraiser will be a smashing success. Thank you!

Meals-On-Wheels of South Liberty County provides five hot meals a week to approximately 65 citizens in Liberty and Ames. All of our drivers and deliverers are volunteers. At $4 per meal, the investment of ensuring our elderly population receives a nutritious meal enables independent living and dramatically reduces healthcare costs.

Our funding comes from three main sources: Liberty County, individual contributions and through a program from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC). Currently, HGAC funds provide approximately six months’ worth of South Liberty County’s Meals-On-Wheels program. For the second half of the year, our meals must be paid for through individual contributions, partnerships and private funds.
In celebration of Older Americans Month, your local Meals-on-Wheels program has a goal of raising $17,500.00 by the end of May.

Will you help feed our elderly neighbors with a gift of $20, $50, $100, $250 or $500 today?

Your generous gift literally puts food on the table and provides a warm smile and friendly face to our most vulnerable local citizens.

Gifts may be sent to P.O. Box 10397 Liberty, TX 77575 or made online at www.libertymeals.com
Thank you for helping protect some of our most vulnerable citizens!
