The Avalon Senior Meals and Meals on Wheels Program are seeking personal donations and Avalon business support. Help from local individuals and business sponsorships is critical to keep the program working.
Currently, there are 36 people who receive a lunch Monday through Friday each week, which works out to about 144 meals each month.
The meals are prepared by local restaurants and delivered by a volunteer group who could use some help and a better golf cart.

Some of the people who receive the meals are financially needy and others are not well enough to cook for themselves. Some people on the program will save a portion of their Friday lunch to eat over the weekend. If one more restaurant would join the service it may be possible to provide a Saturday lunch. For more information and to make a donation, call Zella Le Sieur at (310) 386-9605.
The Avalon Lions Club is dedicated to helping community organizations and residents in a time of need. It holds fundraisers throughout the year and then returns the money back to the Avalon Community through High School Graduation Scholarships, organizational and personal donations.
Referrals are also available to the Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation of Southern California for people who need this service. Should you know of an Avalon person or group in need, call Burney Ramming at (310) 422-1406.
