Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels celebrated our volunteers at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at Keʻehi Lagoon Beach Park on Saturday, March 22, 2025. The atmosphere was lively with music provided by the HMoW Band as volunteers enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch catered by Island Catering Service, one of our 12 kitchen partners who prepare meals for our clients. Michelle Cordero-Lee, our CEO, expressed gratitude to the volunteers, stating, “Last year we served more than 202,000 meals. That would not have been possible without you!” Our volunteers play a crucial role in our organization, including those who deliver meals, assist with administrative projects, and help at our fundraising events.
