Imagine the delight of receiving a warm, nutritious meal and a sweet treat, a simple gesture that can brighten someone's entire day. At Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud (MOWLB), we're dedicated to delivering more than just meals; we bring nourishment and connection to our community's homebound seniors. Recently, our clients experienced an extra dose of joy, thanks to the generous donation of Girl Scout Cookies from the Girl Scouts of Colorado.

Our drivers had the pleasure of delivering not only our regular meals but also boxes of those iconic Girl Scout Cookies. One driver, Jenelle, recounted the sheer joy and appreciation for the treats, emphasizing how these cookies were a special surprise for those on her rural route who might not have had the opportunity to enjoy them otherwise.

Other drivers shared similar stories, noting how the cookies sparked conversations and brought a sense of warmth and connection during their deliveries. These cookies were more than just a sweet treat; they were a symbol of community care and a reminder that someone is thinking of them.

This heartwarming gesture highlights the power of community collaboration and the impact it has on our clients' lives. We extend our deepest thanks to the Girl Scouts of Colorado for their thoughtful donation and for bringing smiles to the faces of our clients. It is wonderful to see the Girl Scouts giving back to communities across Colorado, including other Meals on Wheels programs.

You can help us continue to bring joy and nourishment to our community by donating to Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud, volunteering your time, or sharing our mission with your friends and family. Every contribution makes a difference in the lives of our clients.
