Diebold Foundation Offers a Tip of the Cap to Our Volunteers!

The Diebold Foundation has stepped up to the plate again, this time to help us recognize the dedication of our volunteers. The foundation provided funding for our Volunteer Appreciation Day at the Meals On Wheels Fun Fest Challenge, Saturday, June 25, at Sluggers & Putters theme park in Canal Fulton.
From 12 noon to 6 p.m. that day, Meals On Wheels volunteers will be admitted free to the park to enjoy all activities, including miniature golf, go carts, bumper cars and more. It's our way of saying thanks for their hard work throughout the year.
"In past years we had an appreciation picnic on the lawn of our building in Massillon, but the big tent we used every year was damaged by wind, so we've been looking for another way to thank our volunteers," said Teresa Barry, CEO. "With the funding from the Diebold Foundation, we can now conduct our volunteer appreciation event during the Fun Fest in June."
A complimentary lunch will be available between 12 noon and 2 p.m. for those volunteers who RSVP by June 17.
The Meals On Wheels Fun Fest Challenge will feature a corporate challenge competition in the morning. Teams will participate in good-natured competition in five different activities before enjoying a picnic lunch afterward. The entire park will be opened to the public from 12 noon to 6 p.m., and admission for the afternoon will be just $10 for unlimited access to the park.
