The Longmont Senior Center and Longmont Meals on Wheels (LMOW) are partnering to replace both ovens in the Senior Center commercial kitchen. The ovens are used in the daily preparation of meals for both the home-delivered program and the weekday lunch at the Senior Center, and have provided almost 1 million meals since 2007. In 2016 alone, 107,607 meals were served and delivered including 12, 619 lunches served daily at the Senior Center. Since 1969, LMOW has provided hot nutritious meals and a daily check for older adults and people with disabilities. Since 1986, the Senior Center and LMOW have partnered to enrich the lives of older persons in our community. The ovens are in serious need of replacement in order to continue this important service to individuals who are homebound, unable to prepare meals, and in need of both nutritious meals and human connection.
About the Live & Give Program:
Help shape Longmont’s future in a single day.
On September 26th, Live & Give Longmont brings our community together for 24 hours of generosity. With everyone in the community giving whatever they can, we hope to raise start up funds for a few projects in our community. It’s about working together to accentuate the place we love—so it will continue to thrive today and for generations to come.
