Social Sharing Toolkit - Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland

Introducing… the @mealsonwheelsmd social sharing toolkit!

We’re introducing this toolkit to make it easier for you to talk about Meals on Wheels with your friends, families, co-workers, neighbors, or any one you come into contact with that might like to hear about us.

Our supporters and volunteers are the very heart of what we do! As one of those dedicated supporters, your experiences and stories are priceless to spreading the word about the important work we do to keep thousands of aging and homebound individuals fed, safe, and connected.

We hope you will find this toolkit helpful in amplifying those experiences. And, maybe even inspire someone new to join you in giving back!
