‘March for Meals’ campaign celebrates Bay Aging’s Meals on Wheels program

For Jessica Schlosshan (left) and her daughter Raven, volunteering is a family affair.

Last year Bay Aging volunteers and staff served 144,688 meals to 1,268 seniors throughout the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. During the 18th annual March for Meals campaign, Bay Aging is showcasing the Meals on Wheels program and the wonderful volunteers who work with vulnerable seniors in the many communities they serve. 

Jessica Schlosshan has been delivering Meals on Wheels in Mathews County for six years, but she’s been volunteering since she was a child. “I’ve always been an advocate for the elderly,” Jessica said. “When I was in Girl Scouts, we’d go to nursing homes on holidays and play games with the residents. Their faces would light up like a Christmas tree.”
