About the Event
Marching for Meals is a fun, casual fundraising event in support of Meals on Wheels London (MOWL)! Meals on Wheels London is a local charity that has operated since 1969, providing over 3 million nutritious meals to seniors and neighbours in need.
Funds raised help support MOWL's operations and programming, ensuring seniors experiencing financial hardships can continue to access the vital meals, transportation, friendly visits, and more.
Walking is optional.
You do not need to walk to attend or participate. Many people join us to socialize, support the cause, cheer others on, and take part in our auction and raffles.
Whether you choose to walk, fundraise, attend in person, or participate virtually, your support helps ensure no one in our community goes hungry or feels isolated.
📸 Photos will be taken at the event. Please let us know in advance if you do not wish to be photographed.
