About the project
Hardtner, Ks is a very small rural town. We have one food type business left in our town, which is a restaurant. We are located 10-15 miles (one way) from any other towns that have grocery stores. With an elderly population and no grocery store, we were concerned about residents receiving balanced meals on a regular basis.
We began our Mobile Meals program in cooperation with our local restaurant in October 2019. We deliver noon meals 3 days a week. While we have some residents that can assist with meal costs, several can not.
The Steps
Beginning 3/20/20 and ending 3/28/20 we are having an online auction that we have numerous donation items to auction. While there are many baked goods, we also have animal vet supplies, tools, toys, etc. Auction can be located at www.callbellamy.com or through our Facebook Event Calendar under the Hardtner Health Coalition facebook page.
We have reached out to our alumni and residents informing them of our efforts to raise money, as well as local groups requesting assistance.
Why we‘re doing it
By raising these funds, we can ensure that those in need in our community will have the meals they need. This also allows for us to visit with them, become familiar, and work towards other issue resolution they may need assistance with.
