Pancake breakfast set for MOW

Make your day with an all-you-can-eat Pancake Brunch, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Amherst Senior Center Dining Room, 370 John James Audubon Parkway,

The event is open to the public and will support Amherst Meals on Wheels.

Breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit cup, coffee cake, juice and coffee and is sponsored by Northrup Grumman.

Tickets are $7 at the door and can be purchased at the Amherst Senior Center Volunteer Desk, in the Meals on Wheels office, located in the Senior Center, or at the door the day of the brunch.

Amherst Meals on Wheels serves approximately 200 homebound, elderly or handicapped Amherst residents every weekday. A private not-for-profit agency, it is separate and distinct from the Buffalo and Erie County program and receives no county, state or federal funding.

Meals are prepared and packaged fresh each day at the Amherst Senior Center and delivered by a group of dedicated volunteers. The program provides two nutritious hot meals a day, delivered directly to the recipient's home, plus the reassurance of a volunteer's friendly visit. Clients pay a nominal fee for this service, and Amherst Meals on Wheels relies upon fund-raising events to keep costs low. The agency welcomes all contributions and new volunteers.
