Venice Area Mobile Meals, Inc. launches online fund raising campaign on GulfCoastGives.org

Provider of Meals on Wheels service to the Greater Venice, FL area partners with Gulf Coast Gives to promote and achieve its fund raising goals.
 
May 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Venice Area Mobile Meals, Inc. has posted a fundraising project on the local charitable giving website GulfCoastGives.org to sponsor meals for a client who cannot afford them.  The organization seeks to raise $546 from the community through the site within 45 days.  When the goal is reached, the project will cover the cost of daily meals for a deserving client for six months.

As difficult as these economic times are for everyone, especially hard hit is Venice Area Mobile Meals, which faces an increase of meal cost per person to $3 per meal starting June 4th.  It might not sound like much, but many people cannot afford to pay for their meals.  In these cases, Venice Area Mobile Meals will pay $21 per week for seven meals per person.

The all-volunteer organization delivers warm, noon-time meals to individuals who cannot prepare their own due to a mental or physical disability, regardless of their age or financial situation.

About 80% of meal recipients can afford their meals, and are billed monthly.  The majority of meals are delivered to area senior citizens, and the organization’s friendly volunteers may be their only contact with anyone on a daily basis.

Gulf Coast Gives provided a needed platform for Venice Area Mobile Meals to attract donors who are willing to financially support a goal to meet the most basic of human needs, a meal for a needy resident.  Donors can give to the project in any amount.

Developed by Gulf Coast Community Foundation to help nonprofits promote and achieve immediate fundraising goals to support their work, Gulf Coast Gives assists nonprofits on a project-by-project basis. Venice Area Mobile Meals decided on a goal of $546 for its first project on the site, which would pay the meal cost for one person to receive seven meals a week for a six-month period.

Venice Area Mobile Meals, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization which has delivered over 1.4 million meals since its inception in 1969. Administrative office and meal distribution area are located at 920 Tamiami Trail South, Venice, FL, 34285. Venice Area Mobile Meals, Inc. is not associated with Meals on Wheels of America (MOWAA).
