Middletown >> A carved wooden Meals on Wheels perpetual plaque in memory of Bernie Darms was donated to The Middletown Senior Center.
The plaque was carved and donated by Dayle Marshall of 2 Women Traders in Middletown, with materials paid for by Tom and Linda Darms of Tom’s Auto Dynamic in memory of Tom’s mother, Bernie.
Anyone interested in making a donation to have their name or a loved one’s name engraved on the plaque, donations start at $250. All proceeds benefit the Meals on Wheels program at the center.
The Meals on Wheels Program delivers balanced nourishing meals each day to home-bound seniors 60-plus years of age. Middletown delivers more than 800 meals per month to housebound seniors in Hidden Valley, Middletown and Cobb, and the need continues to grow. Although partial funding comes from the Area Agency on Aging and Redbud Healthcare District, subsidization from the community in the amount of about $28,000 per year is required to fully fund this expanding need.
Middletown Senior Center is located at 21256 Washington St.
For information about Center activities and menus, call 987-3113 or go to the center’s website at middletownseniorcenter.org.
