PRINCETON, NJ, March 11, 2009 – The American Red Cross of Central New Jersey’s Home Delivered Meals Program delivers daily nutritious meals to those who are homebound and those unable to prepare meals for themselves in the Mercer County area. As a show of support for the community’s seniors, area Mayors will join Red Cross volunteers to deliver meals on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 as they participate in national Mayors for Meals Day.

Mayors for Meals Day is a component of March for Meals, a national campaign by the Meals on Wheels Association of America. The American Red Cross of Central New Jersey is a participant in this national campaign, which aims to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of the local community. Senior nutrition programs across the United States promote March for Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment and fundraising initiatives.
