Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana has received a $10,000 donation from the Avery Dennison Foundation.
Rachel Baggett, who works for Avery Dennison in Lowell, said her company has a program called Granting Wishes which allows employees to nominate an organization that is doing work that matters in their community.
“With the greater need that most organizations have faced over the last year, we were driven to submit an application for Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana and were excited to learn that our nomination was accepted,” Bagget said. “We are proud to support Meals on Wheels’ important work of providing daily nutrition to keep seniors healthy in our community.”
Sandra Noe, executive director of Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana, said her organization is grateful for the donation and longstanding support from Avery Dennison.
“From volunteering to wash vans or pack meals, to serving as Phone Pals, and providing financial support, Avery Dennison is a true partner in serving the community,” Noe said.
Meals on Wheels of Northwest Indiana delivers 2,000 meals daily to people in Lake, Porter, Newton, and Jasper counties and prepares the meals for the LaPorte County Meals on Wheels program.
