Events

Meals On Wheels hosts several fundraisers throughout the year to raise awareness and support for our agency.  We hope that you'll take part in one of these opportunities and join us in supporting Buncombe County seniors.

Polar Bear Plunge

This annual event held in January is hosted by the Asheville Racquet & Fitness Club invites individuals and local celebrities to "take the plunge" to help feed the elderly homebound of Asheville and Buncombe County.

The 2nd Annual Polar Bear Plunge held on January 23, 2010 raised over $9,500 for Meals On Wheels!  Our thanks to the AR&FC and these wonderful sponsors!
