YOLO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Woodland resident and volunteer Dorothy Murphy will host a community-wide rummage sale on Oct. 24, Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 to benefit Meals on Wheels Yolo County.
The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. all three days at 530 5th St. in Woodland, weather permitting.
“Meals on Wheels is close to my heart, as I volunteer bringing meals to seniors in our community and I see what this service means to them,” Murphy said. “Not everyone can afford to make a big donation, so I thought a rummage sale was a great way to give the community a chance to gather and raise funds for this important group while having fun shopping for treasures together.”
All proceeds will benefit the local nonprofit organization that provides prepared meals for more than 1,200 Yolo County seniors in need each day.
“I am proud of the commitment and dedication of our board, staff and volunteers in serving food insecure seniors in our community,” said Meals on Wheels Yolo County board Chair Bridget Levich. “It is especially gratifying when a volunteer seizes an opportunity to fund this important work.”
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Meals on Wheels Yolo County has served seniors in need of nutritional support since the 1970s, first as part of a St. John’s United Church of Christ program in Woodland and later as a nonprofit organization serving the entire county.
The Yolo County organization provides dependable, freshly prepared, ready-to-eat meals for seniors who are unable to travel to a grocery store or other food access locations, and/or are physically unable to prepare their food and do not have family or a caregiver to assist.
