Sonora Area Foundation (SAF) is offering a $50,000 matching grant in support of Meals on Wheels’ (MOW) upcoming Radiothon fundraiser, to be hosted by Clarke Broadcasting Corporation.

The Radiothon, MOW’s 14th annual fundraiser, is scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00a.m. on KZSQ STAR 92.7 FM. Due to pandemic-related concerns, the Radiothon will be held in lieu of MOW’s very successful annual dinner and auction event. The two-hour broadcast will be hosted by Mark and Maryann and will feature interviews with members of the MOW team, major MOW sponsors and more.

Sierra Senior Providers, Inc. (SSPI), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1996, has operated the Meals on Wheels program since opening its doors. MOW provides five home-delivered meals weekly to qualified Tuolumne County residents age 60 or older who are unable to drive, shop or cook safely and consistently. Over the past 13 years, 715,630 meals have been delivered to almost 2,700 homebound seniors, according to SSPI CEO Kristi Conforti.

SAF is pleased to offer this matching grant to encourage community support of this outstanding and vital program. To donate, mail checks made payable to Sonora Area Foundation with “SSP/MOW” in the memo line to Sonora Area Foundation, 362 S. Stewart St., Sonora, CA 95370, or donate here.
