Age Well Senior Services Holding Food Donation Drive In RSM

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA —Age Well Senior Services is asking for you to clear your cupboards this weekend.

The organization is collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items for the senior pantry. All items must be un-expired, they say.

"The nonprofits Meals on Wheels Orange County and Age Well Senior Services provide fresh, restaurant-quality meals at an affordable price delivered safely to the doors of participating seniors," a spokesperson wrote on Patch. At times, special notes and gifts are included with the meals.
