Meals on Wheels fundraiser set for Wednesday

The Orange County Meals on Wheels program, which earlier in the year had financial problems, is having a barbecue fundraiser lunch Wednesday, August 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Granger Supercenter, at 16th Street and Green Avenue in Orange.

LBS BBQ and Catering of Bridge City is partnering with the local non-profit agency for the lunches. Each lunch is $15 and includes a chipped beef or pulled pork sandwich, along with chips, drink and a cookie.

Meals on Wheels delivers free nutritious, balanced meals to shut-ins across the county. In addition, senior citizens may buy a reduced-price hot lunch on weekdays at the Velma Jeter Community Center, on Division Avenue at Sixth Street in downtown Orange across from the Riverfront Pavilion.
