"Meals On Wheels" Needs Your Help! "Adopt A Senior" Today!
Our meals are delivered by some of the most wonderful and dedicated volunteers! These kind folks donate their time, their vehicles and their gas to bring warm friendship and a hot lunch to area shut-ins. This program has grown significantly over the last year - we delivered 10,000 more meals than expected. While we are serving more seniors than ever, our federal funding has been reduced by $19,287. This means that only 34% of the meals we deliver will be subsidized. However, we don't want to put folks on a waiting list, since we know they need to eat. That's why a majority of our fundraising effort goes to cover the cost of providing these meals - our seniors need you more than ever! YOU CAN HELP BY SPONSORING MEALS FOR A SENIOR!
ALL DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED! Gas Voucher Program We also have a gas voucher program to help our volunteer drivers with their gas expenditures - many of them are seniors, too, on fixed incomes! Giving is easy - just click on the Pay Pal button below!

 Leave
A Legacy
YOU can make a difference in the lives that follow! Harry Dietert did. Not only did he establish the Dietert Center, but he also left an endowment for the center to support its on-going operations. Mr. Dietert’s gift to the center keeps on giving - income from that endowment helps us pay the bills to this very day! Make a lasting gift to your favorite charity through a planned gift or bequest. You don’t have to be wealthy. Any gift—large or small—will make a difference. SUPPORT
DIETERT CENTER Leaving a legacy is a great way to remember someone special, support a particular cause, or give back to an organization which has helped you or a family member or has brought joy into your life. When you leave a legacy you touch the future. Financial advisors, estate planners and attorneys can work with you to assure that your tax-free gifts are placed where you want to make a difference. To leave a legacy gift to the Dietert Center,
please contact 1) Prepare a will so that your wishes about your property will be protected at your death. 2) Evaluate your financial situation and determine your charitable goals. 3) Consult an attorney, accountant or financial advisor about tax-friendly options for making a legacy gift. 4) Choose one or more organizations that have made a difference in your life and leave a gift in your will. 5) Contact the organization(s) of your choice to learn about opportunities for legacy giving. 6) Leave a percentage or specific dollar amount of the assets in your will to a charity of your choice. 7) Consider using non-cash assets (real estate, vehicles, art, jewelry, other personal property of value) for your legacy gift. 8) Name a charity as a beneficiary of your IRA, pension plan, CD or life insurance policy. 9) Remember deceased loved ones with a memorial gift to a charity. 10) Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to charities in their wills. |

these elders independent and out of nursing homes or assisted care!
