January 2014 Newsletter  
 
Kudos to Our Supporters, Donors and Volunteers
Such a difficult year and yet more reasons to be thankful for than ever. Sure, our
federal funding was sequestered and impacted by the government shutdown, but local
supporters stepped up and made sure our programs like Meals on wheels stayed on
the road.
We are grateful to our media partners like KNCO and The Union who have shared
our story and made the community aware of our needs. We are grateful to the Nevada
County Supervisors who offered emergency funding to ensure our vital services would
not be interrupted. We applaud the Nevada County Women's Republic Federation and
the Soroptimist International of the Sierra Foothills for each adopting a Meals on
Wheels route. The list goes on. . .
