FUNDS UP TO $7,000
GREENFIELD SAVINGS BANK WILL AGAIN ENCOURAGE NEW WALKERS WITH MATCHING
FUNDS UP TO $7,000
by Carol Foote, Development Director
For the second year in a row, GSB will support the fundraising efforts of
new walkers by matching their dollars raised for the 2019 Meals on Wheels
Walkathon on Saturday, April 27, from 8:30 to 11 a.m., at LifePath, 101
Munson Street in Greenfield, Mass. This is GSB’s 24th year of supporting
Meals on Wheels!
"Last year the Walkathon saw close to 70 walkers join the effort who hadn’t
participated in the previous year. If you’ve been thinking of joining the
LifePath Meals on Wheels Walkathon for the first time, let us match your
efforts - up to $7,000," says GSB President and CEO John Howland. "We want
to double your gift AND create impact for elders who need the support of
Meals on Wheels."
"LifePath’s Meals on Wheels program provides many of the elders in our
community with a nutritious hot meal delivered! to their homes," says
Howland. "This important program ensures these important members of our
community have daily contact and a ‘wellness check’ during the week. Please
join the many GSB employees who will be walking for this great cause, and
pledge generously."
Meals on Wheels at LifePath supports over 1,300 local elders every year.
Thanks to community support from local businesses and organizations like
GSB and individuals like you, the funding deficit is lessened, allowing our
program to have no waiting list for eligible elders in need of a hot meal.
If you’re a student, belong to a social or youth organization, or just have
the interest in making a difference, please join the effort this year.
There’s still time to register as a walker, create a walk team with
friends, family, and coworkers, or make a pledge in support of your
favorite walker or team. Simply go onli! ne to LifePathMA.org or contact
Carol Foote, Development Direc! tor, at 413-773-5555 x2225 or
giving@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Checks made out to LifePath with "Meals on Wheels"
in the memo line can also be mailed to LifePath at 101 Munson Street, Suite
201, Greenfield, MA 01301.
