Meals on Wheels Durham drives senior hunger and isolation out
of our communities every day. In February, the nonprofit raised nearly $130,000 in style during a night of fine dining and fun at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club. All 225 guests at the fourth annual Feed the Need Gala had the opportunity to bid in both a silent and live auction with auctioneer Matt Newsom, enjoy tempting cocktails and dinner and celebrate the fundraiser’s success on the dance floor, grooving to live music from Irresistible Groove. Proceeds from the gala will go to delivering meals and providing other lifeenhancing services for Durham’s homebound, older adults. 5
