The amount of merchandise and massive numberof shoppers has made it impractical for the sale to be held at a private residence. A vacantcommercial building in a high traffic area would be ideal.

a note from the executive directorExecutive DirectorLorrie Lushnat BellairPies with a PurposeThe seventeenth annual “Feed a Friend – It’s as Easy asPie” fundraiser was held the week before Thanksgiving,raising $61,980.70 well surpassing our goal of $48,000 andmaking it the most successful Easy as Pie event ever. Wewere all simply stunned, amazed, and of course, gratefulfor this incredible outcome. A special thank you to Mr.& Mrs. Donald Finkner for their generous annual gift tothis fundraiser. Not only do they make a large monetarycontribution, Mr. Finkner then redeems the pie couponsand donates the pies back to us for use in our kitchen!Thank you very much to United Supermarkets, KLBK,KAMC, and Hartsfield Design for their help in makingthe fundraiser possible. Congratulations to Juan Enchintonof United Supermarkets who was victorious in thepie-eating contest that kicked off the Easy as Pie fundraiser.Thanks to the other contest participants: RonRoberts of KAMC, Joe Womble and Adrian Jimenezof United Supermarkets, Terri Furman and MattLaubhan of KLBK, Matt Powell of the District Attorney’sOffice, and Sheriff David Gutierrez. Thankyou also to City Council member Floyd Payne for actingas the official judge for the pie eating contest. Finally, ourthanks to all the radio stations that promoted the fundraiserand to the massive number of volunteers and donorswho so generously supported the event.supporting your communityone lawn at a time!HOW GREAT IS THE NEED?Over the last several decades, there has been a substantialgrowth in the elderly population and that has increasedthe demand for meal services. Seniors, 85 and older, areour most rapidly growing age group. As these numbersincrease, so does the strain on the resources for nutritionprograms. That demand is seen here in Lubbock. 575 peoplereceive meals Monday-Friday and a grant allows for aweekend meal program to feed 50-55 people who have noother way to obtain food on those days.Food prices remained steady over the past eight years,but then there was a 6.1% increase in 2008. LubbockMeals on Wheels is not government funded nor is it aUnited Way agency – our service operates on the generosityof the people, churches, businesses, civic clubs andour special events. Our staff is caring, creative, dedicatedand very involved in the community. Making a differencein the lives of the homebound elderly is our goal,the delivery, however, is done by volunteers. There areover 1370 volunteers involved in our program; fortunatelynone were lost because of rising gas prices. People didnot sit on the sidelines; they invested in our community.Our program is a grass-roots opportunity to serve.They deliver much more than a meal: donated fruit,baked goods, newspapers and magazines, pet food, freshflowers, individual birthday cakes and a card, items forthe 12 Days of Christmas, and special holiday seniorfood boxes from the South Plains Food Bank are alsodistributed as part of our program.The donations at the end of the year to this organizationwere amazing, and we are so grateful. I encourageyou to invest in this program and answer a call toservice and continue to help make Lubbock a greatplace to live.Super SupportMany groups, organizations, clubs, businesses,schools, and individuals madegenerous donations throughout the holidayseason, and we are truly grateful fortheir support. Space limitations preventa complete listing of all the names, butthat does not mean our appreciation isany less. To all who were kind enoughto bring monetary and other donations,please know that your gifts made a significantdifference in the lives of thehomebound, elderly, and disabled righthere in our community. On behalf ofLubbock Meals on Wheels’ Board ofDirectors, staff, and recipients, thankyou for your commitment and support.Enjoy a beautiful green, weed-free lawn and support a charity at thesame time.

Many of our meal recipients do not see anyone during the day exceptour volunteer so they rely on their pets for companionship. Most ofour recipients obviously have difficulty buying groceries and preparingmeals; they have the same challenges feeding their pets. The PetFood program continues to meet this need and supplies dog and catfood to these companion animals. Thank you to all of you who havehelped continue this special program.
