ROSCOMMON – Roscommon County Council on Aging (RCCOA) held their 6th Annual “Meals on Wheels” Car Show Aug. 13 at the Firemen’s training grounds in Roscommon. This event’s purpose is to educate the communities about and to raise funds for the Meals-on-Wheels program.
“We really appreciate everyone coming out even in the rain,” said RCCOA Executive Director Mary Fry. “And we appreciate everyone’s support of our Meals on Wheels program in Roscommon County.”
Over the last several years Roscommon County has seen significant growth in the program, indicating that the need is increasing. 43% of Roscommon County residents are over the age of 60. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, those over the age of 65 are expected to double during the next three decades. The last baby boomer will turn 65 in the year 2030. Roscommon County has twice as many “seniors” as school-aged children.
33 vehicles signed up and the famous meatloaf lunch was a success. New this year was a breakfast and a hotdog, chips and pop lunch. All three meals were a sell out!
