The Council on Aging will present Lake Countys 18th edition of March for Meals on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 8 am to 10 am at the Great Lakes Mall in Mentor. March for Meals raises awareness and funds for the Council on Agings nutrition programs for Lake County seniors and is part of a national campaign for Meals on Wheels America.

Individuals will have the chance to purchase tickets and win valuable raffle baskets posted online beginning Friday, March 1st. Then Lake County will gather for the Mall Walk - on March 29th!

This Lake County event will be one of hundreds of local programs across the country that reaches out to their communities to build support for Meals on Wheels. The Council on Aging needs the community to take part in the fundraiser to help support an ever-growing number of seniors reaching out for nutritional support. Home-delivered meal services not only provide a nutritious meal, but also a friendly visit and safety check by one of the agencys dedicated meal delivery volunteers.

The indoor event will begin with registration at 8:00 a.m., followed by the walk kickoff at about 8:45 a.m. The walk route is a one-mile indoor loop, but walkers can walk as far as they are able during the event. In addition to camaraderie and walking for a great cause, participants will enjoy morning coffee, a goodie bag, an opportunity to try for additional raffle baskets and fun musical entertainment by DJ Jesse Webb!
