Bring at least $7 to any Bay Federal branch in the month of February to take home a cute boxed ceramic pig. Branches are located in Aptos, Capitola, Freedom, Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, and Watsonville.
Meals on Wheels piggy banks are also stationed at area businesses and available to residents. Call (831) 464-3180 or lisab@cbridges.org to request a piggy or inquire other piggy locations.
For seniors who are isolated and unable to prepare meals or shop, the Meals on Wheels daily meal and friendly visit mean a lot. Meals on Wheels Program Director Lisa Berkowitz said, “Donations and volunteer support account for a significant part of our work.
As our senior population lives longer nowadays and as the baby boom generation ages, demand continues to grow for this program that helps elders stay in the comfort of their own homes.”
In addition to home-delivered meals, the program operates senior dining sites throughout Santa Cruz County, in Watsonville, Santa Cruz, Live Oak, Ben Lomond, and Scotts Valley.
