A $100,000 donation from Walmart is helping Senior Services deliver meals to seniors throughout King County each week.
The Walmart Foundation support of the Senior Services Meals on Wheels program in Washington helps ensure that home-bound persons who are 60 or older can eat well and remain independent, officials said.
Madeleine Havener, regional general manager for Walmart in the Northwest, said the company is “proud to play a part in helping to keep older adults healthy and connected within their community.”
The Walmart donation, formally announced earlier this year, will help provide nearly 20,000 meals to be delivered to “vulnerable seniors” in King County, said Paula Houston, Senior Services’ chief executive officer.
