Community Focus Collection (CFC)

On the third weekend of each month during September – May, our Sunday collection is given to a pre-selected Ministry Partner, organization or cause, like this one, that puts our values into practice. This week our donations go to Wausau Area Mobile Meals (WAMM). Director Doris Spooner will be speaking on behalf of WAMM.

About This Cause

To promote good health among the elderly, convalescing and/or disabled members of the greater Wausau area by delivering hot, nutritious meals with the help of volunteers.

WAMM Mission Statement

Wausau Area Mobile Meals delivers weekday meals to those individuals in our community who are homebound and ill, disabled and/or elderly. We offer an opportunity for the recipients to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own homes as long as possible. All our meals are delivered by volunteer drivers and to serve the 90+ recipients we need 60 volunteers a week. We deliver meals in the greater Wausau area, including Wausau, Schofield, Rothschild and parts of Weston. We know that proper nutrition is critical to those who are trying to age successfully, and we provide selected menus for various dietary needs. Our meals are prepared at Aspirus Wausau Hospital and delivered by the volunteers to clients’ homes over the noon hour. A meal includes both hot & cold items. Along with the meal delivery, there is a bonus “safety check”, as the volunteer greets the client each day. This visit gives family members at a distance a feeling of comfort to know that their loved one has been checked on.
