The Hoodland Senior Center would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Jan and Todd Ostrom, owners of Alpine Event Center, for generously hosting the recent fundraiser brunch that raised critical funds for the Meals on Wheels program. The event, held on March 9, 2025, brought together local community members for a morning of delicious food, good company, and support for a cause that is close to the hearts of many folks in the community.
The staff at Alpine Event Center played a pivotal role in making the brunch a success. From the warm, welcoming atmosphere to the seamless organization of the event, their dedication to ensuring every detail was handled with care was evident from start to finish. The venue provided the perfect setting for the event, and their team went above and beyond to make sure all attendees felt comfortable and well-cared for.
The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the wonderful community turnout. The brunch was attended by dozens of local residents, all of whom shared a common goal — supporting the Meals on Wheels program, which provides vital meals to homebound seniors in the Hoodland area. The outpouring of generosity and kindness from community members will go a long way in ensuring that seniors in need continue to receive nutritious meals and the companionship that the program provides.
“We are so grateful to everyone who attended and to Jan and Todd for providing such a beautiful space for our fundraiser,” said Carianne Stearns, Executive Director of the Hoodland Senior Center. “The support from our community is invaluable and will make a tremendous difference in the lives of homebound seniors who rely on Meals on Wheels.”
Thanks to the contributions of those who attended, the event raised vital funds that will help ensure the continued success of the growing Meals on Wheels program. The Hoodland Senior Center is deeply thankful for the ongoing support of our community and looks forward to future opportunities to work together in making a positive impact on the lives of local seniors.
The Hoodland Senior Center would also like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone interested in learning more about the Meals on Wheels program or getting involved to visit the center or contact them directly.
Together, we are making a difference. Thank you again to Alpine Event Center and all who attended for their support and generosity.
