Bay Ridge Center to host 23rd annual Meals on Wheels fundraiser
Bay Ridge Center is advocating for seniors once again with its March for Meals.
Bay Ridge Center is hosting its 23rd annual March for Meals fundraiser on Saturday, March 24, raising awareness and funds for its home delivered meals program in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights and Gravesend. There will be a kickoff ceremony at 10:30 a.m., followed by a three-mile march that will begin and end at Bay Ridge Center, 411 Ovington Avenue.
Bay Ridge Center feeds over 650 seniors a day, seven days a week, explained Todd Fliedner, the center’s deputy executive director. This number is up from five years ago, when only 400 residents received meals each day.
