Irish Dinner and Silent Auction benefiting Meals on Wheels and More @ Bellingham Ferry Terminal

Whether you are Irish or Irish in spirit, you are invited to support the health and independence of local seniors at an Irish Dinner and Silent Auction at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal on Saturday, March 7th.

Get your green on and join Meals on Wheels and More for their 5th Annual Irish Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday, March 7th, 2020 at the Bellingham Ferry Terminal! Enjoy a traditional Irish Dinner of corned beef and cabbage provided by Haggen Market Street Catering (vegetarian option available), entertainment, a variety of local brews from Boundary Bay Brewery, a silent auction, live music and more! Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the Bellingham Senior Activity Center and at https://whatcomcoa.org. Tickets will sell out quickly, so don’t wait to get yours!

All proceeds of the event benefit Meals on Wheels and More, a program of the Whatcom Council on Aging, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Meals on Wheels and More supports the health and independence of local seniors by providing freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced lunches at 12 senior centers and senior residences in Whatcom and San Juan Counties, and by delivering “Meals on Wheels” to homebound seniors throughout the two counties. In 2019, the program delivered more than 108,000 meals to homebound seniors, a 75% increase over the past five years! “A successful Irish Dinner fundraiser will help ensure that all local seniors who need the Program’s services will receive them without being placed on a waiting list,” says Program Director, Julie Meyers.

Meals on Wheels and More thanks event sponsors, Haggen Northwest Fresh, VibrantUSA, Dewey Griffin Subaru, and Boundary Bay Brewery.
