Program Director Evelyn Kinsella

Whitman & Jo Parker, Publishers of The Jacksonville Review, sold advance copies of the December/January issue on November 30th in front of the Post Office and Ray’s Market!

They asked for $1 to buy the paper – with all proceeds going to Jacksonville’s local Food & Friends!

The community proved more than generous for this great cause – $1,118 was raised!!

Program Director, Evelyn Kinsella popped by and helped out also. And thanks to Jerrine Rowley, Food & Friends Volunteer and Medford Food Project Coordinator who also assisted Jo Parker at the Post Office location for a while.

Food and Friends/Meals on Wheels is an amazing and much-needed organization which provides food and companionship to thousands of seniors. Volunteer drivers deliver about 15,000 meals each month to individuals living independently at home, who, for health reasons, cannot make their own meals.

This is a wonderful organization which provides food and companionship to thousands of seniors. Volunteer drivers deliver about 15,000 meals each month to individuals living independently at home, who, for health reasons, cannot make their own meals.

An additional 4,000 meals are served each month at our 12 congregate senior dining sites with the help of our volunteers.

Last fiscal year we served a total of 238,384 meals to approximately 3,900 people in Jackson and Josephine Counties.

Jacksonville’s Food & Friends dining site provides lunches Monday through Friday at:
