A local assisted living and memory care community is leading the charge this holiday season to make sure seniors throughout Mecklenburg County have access to food they need to continue living healthy, happy lives. Waltonwood Cotswold is raising money for the Mecklenburg County Senior Nutrition Program. Now through the end of December, the senior living community will collect monetary donations of cash, checks and coins which will provide low-income, homebound or other qualifying seniors with warm holiday meals. Waltonwood Cotswold chose this cause to support during the holidays because they have seen firsthand how these services benefit those who would have no other way to receive a warm meal. The team and residents want to make sure the program can provide these services to as many seniors in need as possible. We hope you’ll share this with the public and help a local organization that is caring for those who have contributed so much to the area. Waltownood Cotswold feels it owes these seniors their support. The senior living community opened recently and plans to support causes like this on an annual basis to continue giving back throughout the year.

Donations can be dropped off at the front desk of Waltonwood Cotswold (5215 Randolph Road) at any time during those dates. Checks should be made to the Mecklenburg County Senior Nutrition Program.
