Meals on Wheels' March for Meals
March 12th, 2026
To raise funds and awareness for our Meals on Wheels Program in Sussex County 
For more than 50 years, the Meals on Wheels network has claimed the month of March to rally communities around its vital service, celebrate our senior neighbors and increase support for this successful public-private partnership that has ensured millions of older Americans can remain healthy and independent at home.
Charities Diocese of Paterson's Meals on Wheels program proudly provides a hot nutritionally balanced meal to residents of Sussex County who are aged 60 and older, homebound, isolated, and unable to prepare meals independently.
Our Meals on Wheels Program has been a beacon of hope for seniors. Often, our dedicated staff members and volunteers are the only social contact our seniors have.
During the month of March we will be joining with Meals on Wheels chapters throughout the country in celebrating our impactful work. On Thursday, March 12th, Bishop Sweeney, volunteers, and supporters will be volunteering to deliver meals in the community.
You can make a difference by offering a sponsorship, donation, or by independently “marching” in your community.
