Rio Carnival: A Samba Soirée!

The Prado at Balboa Park

What a year! Your generous support at Samba Soirée raised over $450,000! The funds raised will help ensure no senior goes hungry and that no senior ever feels alone or forgotten. Your generosity and dedication inspire us every day, and we look forward to making an even greater impact together in the future.

We embarked on a Brazilian adventure, presenting our unique interpretation of the “Rio Carnival” experience. Attendees danced to the rhythm of Samba throughout the evening, providing vital assistance to our seniors and disabled veterans. They enjoyed bites prepared by talented San Diego chefs, participated in our captivating auction and games, and indulged in a three-course dinner. It was an exciting gathering that was eagerly anticipated by all who attended!

Questions about this event?

Meals on Wheels is the only agency providing meals for 7 days a week, including holidays. Additionally, we cover the entire county, including delivery into the over 3,049 square miles of rural and unincorporated areas. Meals on Wheels San Diego County subsidizes 60% of the costs for meals, delivery, and other services provided, regardless of a senior’s ability to pay.

 

Distributing home-delivered meals and safety checks could not be accomplished without the help of our very large and caring volunteer workforce who deliver meals with a hug and a smile and ensure our homebound seniors are OK. Frequently the volunteer may be the only person the senior sees all day, providing human contact and a safety net, particularly for those seniors living alone. Lives are saved nearly every week as a result of acquiring the proper emergency personnel for someone who has fallen, had a stroke, or is simply in need of additional resources.
