Miracle in a Meal Fundraiser
Many of our senior neighbors urgently need support and access to hot, nutritious meals to stay healthy. Your help keeps our Senior Nutrition Program thriving—and ensures no one is left hungry.
The cost of a meal is $5. This GivingTuesday, help us reach our goal of $80,000 to provide 16,000 miracle meals to more at-risk seniors throughout San Diego County!
Every dollar counts - no amount is too small!
Together, we can create hope this holiday season. It starts with YOU - one meal at a time!
Matching Challenge
All GivingTuesday donations to Serving Seniors are matched up to $30,000! Your gift goes twice as far thanks to our generous matching gift partners!
