Ways to Give
Emergency Bags
When inclement weather hits, and the schools and FMOW close, our clients do not receive their daily lunchtime meal.
Fluvanna Meals on Wheels asks the community to fill and donate Emergency Food Bags.
These “E-Bags” contain 5 full meals, which our clients are to use in the event that we are unable to deliver their lunchtime meals.
Emergency Food Bags – January 2023
Please share this information with friends, churches, or other community organizations who might be interested in sponsoring Emergency Food Bags.
Bags can be dropped off before January 30th, 2023 at our office in Crofton Plaza, Monday – Friday 9 AM – Noon.
If you would like to donate specific items, call us for our current wish list. 434-589-1685
