“It was an incredible day,” said Logic Vice-President, Commercial and Customer Care Pamela Ebanks-Small. “In addition to raising funds and awareness for such an important organization like Meals on Wheels, it was also a great way to raise awareness for our expanding Business Solutions platform.”
The local not-for-profit organisation provides free, hot, nutritious meals to seniors, the homebound and the disabled throughout the Cayman Islands.
“We are so grateful to our friends at Logic for their continued support of Meals On Wheels,” said Rob Imparato, Meals on Wheels chairman. “They are outstanding corporate citizens and true champions of the fight against senior hunger. Thanks also to everyone who participated and donated to MOW.”
Meals on Wheels General Manager Jennifer West said the charity will use the funds raised to provide 4,000 hot meals and 4,000 hearty soups to seniors in need.
