Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office Helping Sponsor Fundraiser

for Council on Aging Meals on Wheels Program

The Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office is helping sponsor a fundraiser for the local Council on Aging (COA) and their Meals on Wheels program.  A "Wild Beast Feast,” featuring seafood, wild game and many other favorite local dishes will be held Sunday, June 7th, 11- 2 at St. Joseph the Worker Church Hall, 3304 Highway 70 South in Pierre Part.  Tickets for the event are $25 and can be purchased at any APSO office or at the Council on Aging, 166 Highway 1008 in Napoleonville.

"Our senior citizens are a precious part of our community, heritage and way of life in Assumption Parish,” Sheriff Mike Waguespack said.  "Many of them count on Meals on Wheels for daily nutrition and supporting this worthy program is the least we can do to help those who have helped so many of us.”

Although meals can be delivered to elderly and fixed income seniors for a little as $1 per day, the Council on Aging needs a revenue stream to ensure the program continues and potentially expands to serve more of our elderly and fixed income citizens. 

"It is our hope that this event becomes an annual fundraiser for the COA as they continue their good work on behalf of our senior citizens,” Sheriff Waguespack said.  "Please make an effort to attend as there will be plenty of delicious food prepared by many local chefs, who are some of the best cooks in the world!  And, every penny raised benefits a great cause.”
