Seeking Matchmakers:
Like YOU? | By Sheryl Wilde
Some of you may be familiar with the popular match-making service, "It's Just Lunch". Those seeking a partner go on an arranged lunch date to get to know each other - and determine if there is mutual interest in seeing each other again, and building the foundation for a longer-term relationship.
At Mountain Shadows Outreach Services (MSOS), our "profile" is a little different. We custom-match a personalized menu of daily services and activities to each of our participants - and it's NOT just lunch! Yet, through these services, we are building the foundation for a better, more fulfilling life. The Mountain Shadows Foundation (MSF) helps to provide funding for these services, but ... we need your help. |

Here's How YOU Can Help:
Take a Resident to Lunch
While the Mountain Shadows Foundation provides funding for lunches out on the town, and the "little things" listed above, prices are rising on everything! On average, the cost for one of our participants to go out to eat is $25.
So, we'd like to ask you - will you help us "Take a Resident to Lunch?"
Here's how YOU can help through our "Take a Resident to Lunch" Program:
MSOS has six custom-designed, fully accessible buses. Three residents, one staff member, and a driver, can go on one bus, so on a perfect day, 18 residents can be out in the community - finally getting back to who we are after COVID! Your donations will be used for lunch, or the participants' choice of activity or special items. - Lunch for One, or Participants' Choice of Activity or Special Item- $25
- Lunch for Three, or Participants' Choice - $75
-
Lunch for Three, plus MSSG staff , or Participants' Choice - $100
- Lunch or Participants' Choice for 18 - $450
- Other donation amount
