The Spring Gala is a significant event in providing financial support to our mission. All the proceeds will directly benefit our mission in the purchasing of food, needed commercial kitchen equipment and subsidizing the cost of meals, etc.

If you would like to donate an item for our Silent Auction/Raffle, please take a minute to complete the Spring Gala Donation Form and return it to us at your earliest convenience. We, and the seniors we serve, will be extremely grateful for your support. Feel free to contact Mary O'Brien if you have any questions at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Letter from the Director

With the New Year upon us, I want to take some time to reflect on last year. NAMOW grew tremendously last year, and everyone’s hard work and dedication is evident. Every day when I go to work, I am reminded of what a magnificent group of people that I get to work with and how fortunate our community is to have neighbors like you. As a NAMOW volunteer, you are all truly exemplary citizens. In the coming year, I want to come together and work as a team—even more so than last year, so that we are putting our best foot forward to fight senior hunger!

I love the diverse background that makes up our volunteer population; I am inspired by the ambition, commitment and enthusiasm that our volunteers bring to NAMOW. It is refreshing to see how young in spirit and at heart our volunteers are. This shows me that the fountain of youth lies within oneself. Our volunteers are a fine example of this, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with all of you! Best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy New Year!
