Most of us aren’t thinking about warm scarves, hats, and mittens in June, unless you’re in the knitting group, Sharing Our Gifts. The mission of Sharing Our Gifts members is “To help at least one charitable cause in each of the 50 states by donating handmade goods.” They realize that the cold weather that comes during the fall and winter is only a few months away, and they have generously selected the Meals On Wheels participants from St. Joseph Community Services to be one of the groups to receive beautiful, warm, handmade donations for the colder months ahead.

We are very grateful for these unique gifts, and our participants will be delighted to receive special, handmade items to keep them warm. Following is a picture of some of the items that have been donated by the Sharing Our Gifts members.

 

Thank you to the members of Sharing Our Gifts for these beautiful donations! To learn more about what this group does, visit their website at: http://sharingourgifts.blogspot.com/

Thank you again to all of the sponsors of the 2nd Annual March for Meals Walkathon!

On May 18th, hundreds of walkers and volunteers arrived at the four walk locations in order to help raise awareness and much needed funds for Meals On Wheels. The support of our sponsors has helped us to increase awareness of the needs of the older and disabled adults throughout all of our communities. With their generosity, we are able to continue providing our services to this often isolated population, thereby supporting their choice to remain independent and age in place in their own homes within their communities.

This year’s Manchester walk was held at Dorrs Pond in Livingston Park. To see pictures from the event, visit our Facebook page by clicking here!

 

We can’t thank our sponsors enough!

The past two weeks have been both busy and exciting!  On May 4 we held the 19^th Annual Ballroom Gala to benefit Meals on Wheels. Several hundred dancers gathered at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester to enjoy great music, good food, wonderful dance demonstrations, raffles and a silent auction. It was held on the same day as the Kentucky Derby, so our theme for this year’s event was “Run for the Roses.” All of us at SJCS are deeply grateful to the gala sponsors, many of whom have supported the gala for many years, for their generous support.

Very soon, we will be uploading pictures from the Gala; we have some wonderful shots of the dancers and look forward to sharing them.

On May 18, walkers will be gathering at four locations around the state to take part in the 2^nd Annual March for Meals Walk. Registration starts at 9:30 AM, and the walk begins at 10:00 AM.  This event will raise much needed funds for the Meals on Wheels Program.

Walk Locations:

Ossipee:  Downtown Ossipee

N. Haverhill:  Horse Meadow Senior Center 91 Horse Meadow Road

Concord:  Delta Dental Campus, One Delta Drive

Manchester:   Dorrs Pond, Livingston Park, Hooksett Road

We invite you to join us for a two-mile walk around Dorrs Pond on Saturday, May 18th.  Please consider building a “team” to walk with and obtaining pledges in support of your walk for the Meals on Wheels program.

The 2012 FIRST LEGO League “Senior Solutions” challenge was held in November at the Merrimack High School. The NH LEGO League teams pick a theme for every competition and learn about their target market. This year the challenge was to improve the lives of older adults in our community. Ninja NXT chose Meals on Wheels for their senior project.

To promote their theme, they created a community on velcro with streets and homes. The children attending the challenge at the Merrimack High School had fun tossing felt Meals on Wheels vans onto the streets. Ninja NXT was the most popular table at the event with a never ending line waiting to toss a van. They asked for donations and at the end of the competition they presented a check for $200 to St. Joseph Community Services!

Next spring they are planning on walking in our March for Meals walk-a-thon. Team spirit and helping others is a big part of the NH Lego League and we think the Ninja’s are number 1! Since 2009, the NH LEGO League has worked with children who have a passion for LEGO brick building. Each month they hold LEGO building meetings in Goffstown for members with a focus on building, learning, and having fun. Their membership includes students from Goffstown, Manchester, Derry, Weare, Hooksett, New Boston and more.

 

Entertainment was donated by MB Padfield, a local 17 year-old singer/songwriter. MB is found on Facebook, Reverbnation and iTunes.

Great New Hampshire Restaurants made a very generous contribution of gift certificates to the Copper Door Restaurant, located in Bedford for every guest at the event.

St. Joseph Community Services provides Meals on Wheels and Community Dining through twenty-four sites.

Starting October 1, 2012, St. Joseph Community Services is reducing its Meals on Wheels service delivery to four days a week. Meals on Wheels clients will continue to receive the same number of meals; a frozen meal will be sent out the day before the day delivery is suspended. Prior to the start of this change, staff members will release a delivery schedule. On the day delivery is suspended, the dining sites will be open to Community Diners, but with a reduced staff.

Meghan Brady, President of St. Joseph Community Services, explained that “years of flat or reduced funding and an increase in the number of people seeking our help made this change necessary. Meal costs have increased as well, driven by increases in gas and food prices. We cannot continue without making changes to our operations to reduce costs.”

Brady added that “Over the past several months we have also reduced the number of weekend meals served, while doing our best to ensure that those with greatest need will continue to receive these meals.”

Richard Plamondon, Chairman of the Board of Directors at St. Joseph Community Services, stated: “These changes are made with great reluctance. Our Board of Directors spent a considerable amount of time discussing and evaluating a number of different scenarios, and ultimately, chose to reduce the number of delivery days, as we believe this option will have the least impact on our clients.”

Plamondon added, “Over the past few years, we have also reduced costs by merging sites, renegotiating contracts and reducing employees’ benefits.”

Brady stated that “The biggest concern with these changes is for our clients. For many of them, the only person they see all day is our driver. Our homebound clients have physical, mental or emotional conditions that can change greatly from one day to the next. The daily visit is vitally important.”

Brady continued, “We will continue to review our status with the goal of reinstating full service when funding permits.”

St. Joseph Community Services provides Meals on Wheels and Community Dining in Hillsborough County through twenty-four sites. For more information, visit www.mealsonwheelsnh.org or call 603-424-9967.

We are thrilled to receive wonderful handcrafted art work of flowers, fish bowls and paper-doll cards with children’s happy messages from Thorntons Ferry School students. The students made cards and drew pictures simply to put a smile on the faces of our Meals on Wheels clients. On behalf of our clients, we wish to extend our thanks to the students and teachers for these heartwarming gifts. We look forward to sharing these beautiful cards and framed pictures with our seniors.

After much consideration, the annual SJCS picnic will be canceled this summer. Due to an increase in food and transportation costs, SJCS would have to raise ticket prices considerably. After discussion with staff, we decided that it would be cost-prohibitive for many people and have therefore canceled it.

Over the past several years our funding has remained flat or has decreased in a time of increasing need. We have cut costs and increased our fundraising efforts to support the Meals on Wheels and Community Dining Programs and cannot justify using staff time and resources to raise money for the picnic.

The picnic would have been held on August 8th and SJCS Community Dining locations will still be closed that day. The homebound clients will receive a frozen meal the day before. Our staff will use that day for planning and administrative efforts.

We hope to be able to host the picnic again in upcoming years.

On May 19^th, we held the first annual March for Meals Walkathon. SJCS is one of five agencies covering six counties that participated in this event. SJCS held our walkathon at Livingston Park in Manchester. Walkathons were also held in Concord and Lincoln. By working with the Meals On Wheels programs in other counties, we hope to raise not only funds, but also greater awareness of the need among the older and disabled adult population in our state for this service.

Our deepest gratitude to all who walked, obtained pledges, or helped out at the park on the day of the event.

Pledges are still coming in, but we raised over $12,000!  Thank you all!

We are delighted to share pictures of the Livingston Park event, which can be seen here:

SJCS named 2009 Champion in Action in area of Hunger
Citizens Bank and WMUR-TV to provide $25,000 grant, PR and volunteer support

    

Citizens Bank New Hampshire and WMUR-TV have named St. Joseph Community Services as their 2009 fourth quarter Champion in Action® in the area of hunger. As part of the award, the organization will receive a $25,000 grant, media coverage, and extensive promotional and volunteer support for its dedication to providing nutritious meals, health education, and social interaction opportunities for seniors and disabled adults throughout Hillsborough County.

“Citizens Bank is pleased to join WMUR-TV in naming St. Joseph Community Services as the newest Champion in Action,” said Cathleen A. Schmidt, President, Citizens Bank, New Hampshire. “By providing financial, marketing, and volunteer support, we can assist this Champion in advancing its programs and services. St. Joseph Community Services and its Meals on Wheels program offer a nutritious meal each day and a friendly safety check for their clients.  We congratulate the organization’s efforts, and we are proud to contribute to its success.” 

The Champions in Action program is designed to recognize and support nonprofit organizations for their contributions to New Hampshire communities. A new Champion in Action is selected each quarter among a range of social service areas.

“Sharing in this initiative with Citizens Bank continues to be a source of great pride,” said Jeff Bartlett, General Manager of WMUR-TV. “We are very pleased to help out organizations across the state that demonstrate such a strong commitment to making a difference in the lives of so many New Hampshire residents. They truly are champions.”
 
With its 12 sites and seven satellite locations, St. Joseph Community Services provides meals at community dining centers as well as through their Meals on Wheels program.  Without these programs some of their clients would have to choose between purchasing food or paying for other basic needs such as heat, medicine, or rent.  St. Joseph Community Services served 420,000 meals last year.  Currently 1,650 meals are served everyday – 200 more per day than the prior year, and although there has been an unprecedented surge in need, they have been able to avoid implementing a waiting list.

“The knock on each client’s door is the very heart of our program,” said Meghan Brady, President of St. Joseph Community Services.  “Our drivers not only provide a nutritious meal, a smile, and a safety check: they also bring peace of mind for our clients and their families.”

According to Brady, St. Joseph Community Services’ dedicated staff and volunteers deliver food and friendship to their clients, who often are the most vulnerable and isolated members in our communities.

 “Our caring staff and volunteers bring a meal, and a friendly visit every day,” added Brady.  “Everyone is very proud of our 32-year history of enriching lives with a warm meal, social connection and independence.”

As a Champion in Action, St. Joseph Community Services will receive:
• A $25,000 contribution in unrestricted funds from the Citizens Bank Foundation.
• Media coverage from WMUR-TV, including public service announcements and television profiles.
• Volunteer support from Citizens and WMUR-TV employees.
• Extensive public relations support.
• Promotional support, highlighting the current “Champion in Action” in all Citizens Bank branches and on its ATMs.
• Exposure on both Citizens Bank and WMUR-TV Web sites.

“We are honored to be recognized by Citizens Bank and WMUR as a Champion in Action,” said Brady. “This award will enable us to reach more people in need, offering a healthy meal, as well as other elder support services.  We are confident this will help improve their quality of life.”

A nonprofit organization focusing on workforce development will be named for the first quarter Champion in Action in January 2010.
