A Catering Business that Gives Back
Close to Home Catering, Bakery and Café is a social enterprise endeavor that helps to support the senior nutrition programs (Meals on Wheels & Senior Center Lunch) provided by the Meigs Council on Aging - Senior Center. All proceeds from our catering, bakery and café enterprise are used for those services.
This endeavor began during the recession as a necessity and started with holiday baking and within 2 years we had expanded our offerings to year round. The success of the catering and bakery has enabled us to not have a waiting list for our senior nutrition program.
Proceeds from Close to Home and our fundraising have funded a new Short Term Home Delivered Meal program for any Meigs County adult over the age of 60 who is being discharged from the hospital. Under this program we provide 5 home delivered meals at no cost to the recipient.
