The monthly reports are in, and the numbers have been crunched. May we have a drumroll, please?

In 2016, Dinners with Love volunteers drove 15,959 miles to deliver 2,974 meals donated by 61 local restaurants to hospice patients and their families. These volunteers donated 1,146 hours of their time.

This means that Dinners with Love volunteers have delivered 7,291 meals since our founding 2009. That is enough to feed one person dinner for nearly 20 years.

Thank you to our volunteers, partner hospice agencies, participating restaurants, and donors for making all of this possible.

This past Saturday, January 14 our friends at Mexicali hosted a LuLa Roe Pop-up Boutique and Breakfast Buffet to benefit Dinners with Love. Our Founder & President Sheri Sullivan and Treasurer Catherine Wall attended. They had a wonderful time meeting the community members who came out to support our organization.

Mexicali has donated $400 from food and beverage sales to Dinners with Love. A group of teens from the Mt. Independence 4H contributed an additional $150 from the raffle. The LuLa Roe consultants are tallying their sales, and will donate a percentage of their revenue in the coming weeks (we will keep you updated on the final total).

We so appreciate the kindness of Mexicali, Mt. Independence 4H, the LuLa Roe consultants, and everyone who attended the event. We are honored to be the recipients of your generosity.

Enjoy a morning of fashion and food! On Saturday, January 14, 9:00-11:00 a.m., our friends at Mexicali Grill & Cantina in Williston, Vermont are hosting a LuLa Roe fundraiser and breakfast buffet. LuLa Roe is a popular women's clothing line sold at in-home and online boutiques. We are honored that Mexicali has selected Dinners with Love to be the beneficiary of this event.

The pop-up LuLa Roe boutique at Mexicali will feature a $10 breakfast buffet, cash bar, silent auction, and a raffle with great prizes. All proceeds will benefit Dinners with Love. A percentage of the LuLa Roe sales will be donated to our organization, as well. We hope to see you there!
