HGAR donates $2,500 to Meals on Wheels of Rockland

White Plains, NY The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR), recently presented a check for $2,500 to Meals on Wheels of Rockland. As a non-for-profit agency with an annual budget of over $3 million, Meals on Wheels has a staff of more than 80 employees and 500 volunteers.  It provides older adults with home delivered meals, senior activity centers, an adult day care center, and an adult learning center.  Meals on Wheels has delivered more than 9 million meals since its inception in 1974.

“With the Foundation’s generous donation, we will be able to provide over 300 meals to homebound seniors who are desperately in need of nutritional meals,” said Stephen Papas, director of development at Meals on Wheels. 

Meals on Wheels is one of the many local Hudson Valley charities benefitting from the Realtor Foundation, which has raised more than $30,000 from its “Runway for Hope” Fashion Show at New Rochelle’s Glen Island Harbour Club, and four “Pub Nights” this year held throughout the Hudson Valley.

Established in 2004 and relaunched in 2013, the Foundation has donated thousands of dollars to charities and non-profits throughout the Hudson Valley.   As concerned members of the communities we work in, the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation participates in qualified community-based charities who serve the housing, hunger, health, happiness, and humane needs of citizens everywhere.
