Every March, communities across the country rally around something powerful: the simple, life-changing act of delivering a meal. Together, we're not just delivering meals, we're delivering hope, health, & connection.

Twenty-three mayors and community leaders across Utah, Wasatch and Summit counties will ride along with volunteer drivers this month to deliver meals to homebound seniors. The effort is part of the month-long 16th annual March for Meals campaign, with this week designated as Community Champions Week, running March 16–27.

The deliveries offer elected officials a firsthand look at the more than 600 seniors served each weekday by the program, administered locally by Mountainland Association of Governments. Nearly 300 additional seniors are currently on a waiting list, with demand continuing to grow.
