Erie Gives Day
AUGUST 9, 2022

8:00 am - 8:00 pm
eriegives.org

Erie Gives Day is an incredible day for Erie nonprofits! Organized by the Erie Community Foundation, it is a 12-hour online donation drive dedicated to financially supporting local charitable organizations. Each gift designated to Meals on Wheels Erie receives a prorated match which boosts our overall total.  It is a very important day for us.  Last year was record-breaking and we were grateful to receive $21,209! Those funds were applied directly to our programs and our Mission.

Please make your gift online on August 9th from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm at eriegives.org, mail a check by August 8th, or gift the required minimum distribution from your IRA.
For complete instructions on mailing your check, simply download the Erie Gives check contribution form below.

This Month's Volunteer Spotlight:
 
Sarah Webb and Family 
Volunteer Sarah Webb is from the Edinboro Area and is a Family and Consumer Science teacher at General McLane High School. She is the proud mom of identical twins Elliot (pictured on the left) and Ethan (pictured on the right) who are entering the 11th grade this Fall. Sarah, although a new volunteer, is already shining!  She volunteers her time and energy to both of our programs and often brings her twins along on the route or to the market. Sarah shared that both she and her husband Matt are "trying to teach their boys to be grateful for what they have and give back to others. While we're proud of their academic and athletic achievements, we remind them regularly that it's their character that matters most." What a great example of the volunteer spirit and passing it along to the next generation! 

We would like to shine the spotlight on this volunteering family who is making a huge impact on the lives of the clients they deliver to.  We are very grateful to have the Webbs on our team!

We so appreciate you Sarah, Elliott, and Ethan.
THANK YOU so much for all you do!
