3rd Annual Mayors for Meals
On March 19, mayors and other dignitaries delivered Meals on Wheels to homebound seniors in Pinellas County. They were part of the 3rd Annual Mayors for Meals campaign, with mayors across the country delivering Meals on Wheels in their communities to help raise awareness of senior hunger.

This year, the goal was to have 1,000 mayors and dignitaries participate all over the country. Not only was this goal met, but it was exceeded, as 1,033 mayors and dignitaries from across the nation participated in the 2008 Mayors for Meals campaign.This year, Neighborly was fortunate to have the following individuals respond to our call and help in this cause:

Mayor Rick Baker        St. Petersburg
