Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening of Celebration and Impact You’re invited to a night full of inspiration, community, and purpose at our Annual Meals on Wheels Gala & Silent Auction — an event that brings people together to make a tangible difference in the lives of our senior neighbors across Horry and Georgetown Counties. Begin your evening by mingling with fellow guests during a welcoming cocktail hour, complete with an elegant charcuterie display and access to our exciting silent auction. Browse a carefully curated collection of items and experiences, generously donated by local businesses and friends, while enjoying live background music and meaningful conversation. After cocktail hour, guests will be ushered into the ballroom for a plated dinner experience. The menu is crafted with care to highlight the flavors of our region and nourish both body and spirit. As you enjoy your meal, we invite you to open your hearts to moving testimonies from individuals whose lives have been directly transformed through Meals on Wheels of Horry & Georgetown County. These stories remind us why we gather—to ensure no senior is left isolated, hungry, or forgotten. Throughout the evening, enjoy live entertainment from talented local musicians, special guest appearances, and surprises designed to uplift and encourage you. From laughter to tears, from heartfelt stories to joyful celebration, this is more than a fundraiser—it’s a reflection of what God can do through the hands and hearts of a giving community. Help Us Build Our Forever Home In 2024, we received an incredible gift—22 acres of land—that has laid the foundation for our vision of a permanent facility, a hub of hope and service that will allow us to expand operations, serve more seniors, and create a legacy that lasts for generations. But we cannot do this alone. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million dollars to build this facility debt-free, ensuring that every dollar moving forward goes directly into meals, outreach, and support. With your support, we can make this dream a reality. Your generosity tonight will help us grow, thrive, and bless countless more lives. Faith-Fueled, Community-Funded Unlike many service organizations, Meals on Wheels of Horry & Georgetown County receives no local, state, or federal funding, and we are not affiliated with Meals on Wheels of America. Everything we do is funded entirely by Jesus Christ and our community. This model of faith-based provision means we are free to care for our clients holistically—meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual needs without restriction. It also means we rely on your partnership. Every meal served, every delivery made, and every smile shared is a direct result of people like you saying yes to being the hands and feet of Christ. By the Numbers: A Legacy of Service 746,511+ meals delivered since our founding in 2009. 126,281+ meals cooked, packaged, and delivered in 2024 alone. Hundreds of volunteers mobilized annually to serve those in need. 0% government funding, 100% community love. Behind each of these numbers is a person—a grandparent, a widow, a veteran, a friend—who no longer has to wonder where their next meal will come from. For many, our volunteers are the only people they see or speak with each day. The meals are important, but the mission goes far deeper: to restore purpose, identity, and hope to the most vulnerable in our community. Why Your Attendance Matters When you sponsor or attend our Annual Gala, you’re not just buying a ticket—you’re buying time, hope, and dignity for someone’s grandmother or grandfather. You’re helping us bring light into lonely places. You’re helping us deliver more than meals. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or this is your first introduction to our mission, we invite you to take the next step. Sponsor a table. Invite your friends. Give generously. And above all, come ready to experience the joy of giving, the power of community, and the presence of God at work in every detail. Your YES today helps build a better tomorrow. Event Details
