FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 3, 2025 – Lafayette, Colorado –
This March, Coal Creek Meals on Wheels (CCMOW) will celebrate surpassing 1 million meals served since the organization’s founding in 1972. Coal Creek Meals on Wheels has served Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Superior for over 50 years, delivering more than just a meal to older adults, individuals with disabilities, and anyone in need who is at a significant risk of hunger, food insecurity, and isolation.
Last year, the organization served over 72,000 meals through their Home Delivered Meal Program and the Coal Creek Café combined – an increase of more than 10,000 meals compared to the year prior. “2024 has been a year of growth, resilience, and impact at Coal Creek Meals on Wheels,” said Nate Broeckert, Executive Director. “Together, we’ve strengthened our foundation, expanded our reach, and deepened our commitment to serving our community with compassion and care. It was another record-breaking year for meals served, which is a testament to the dedication of our team and the unwavering support of our volunteers and donors.” It is no surprise that in 2025, the organization will be celebrating this milestone of over 1 million meals served.
Food insecurity is increasing, and action is needed now to support local Meals on Wheels programs. This year, Meals on Wheels programs from across the country are joining together for the March for Meals awareness campaign to celebrate its success and garner the support needed to ensure these critical programs can continue.
