Volunteers Needed for Change for Change Donation Drive

Meals on Wheels is excited to announce the return of its Change for Change Donation Drive, taking place on Friday, 31 January and Saturday, 1 February 2025.

The 2024 event exceeded expectations, with over 300 passionate volunteers raising an incredible $60,000 to provide hot meals, essential groceries, and hurricane supplies for vulnerable seniors across Grand Cayman. This year, Meals on Wheels is determined to surpass that achievement with the help of the community.

“This fundraiser is the backbone of our efforts to combat senior hunger, and we need the support of every member of our community,” said Jennifer West, Chief Executive of Meals on Wheels. “Whether you volunteer your time, donate your spare change, or organise a group to join us, your contribution will make a real difference in the lives of those who rely on us daily,” she added.

Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal provider — it is a lifeline for seniors who need care, connection, and support. Ms West explained, “This event is about so much more than raising funds. It’s about building a stronger, more compassionate community. Together, we can create a powerful ripple effect that changes lives. Together, we can make 2025 another record-breaking year,” she added.
