St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) delivers Meals on Wheels (MOW) to 150 low-income, homebound seniors and disabled citizens in Collier County each week – over 49,000 meals were delivered in 2019! COVID-19 reminds us how personally troubling and challenging “sheltering in place” can be. Our 150 MOW seniors and disabled citizens spend every day ‘sheltering in place’ and looking forward to a meal and friendly visit from their SVdP MOW driver. SVdP Meals on Wheels is open and operating, but COVID-19 creates a funding challenge: Closed churches and limited outreach has disrupted our normal funding sources - Individuals, businesses, foundations and community groups. SVdP asks you, our Collier County neighbors, to help us raise $185,625 to ensure that our homebound seniors and disabled citizens continue to receive nutritious meals and a personal visit.
