La Habra Meals on Wheels held this year’s annual fundraiser at the lovely La Habra home of Ray O. & Krista Fernandez. It was truly an enchanting evening where we welcomed our friends and supporters with beautiful music, delicious food and a delightfully decorated venue.  We are fortunate to have had so many generous Sponsors.  Thank you to Kent & Dorothy Roberts for their continued and ever growing support.  Thank you to our Diamond Sponsors,  especially Sondra & John Heine, On Deck Delivery and Los Angeles Supervisor Janice Hahn for their continued support.  Thank you to our board members, dedicated volunteers, auction and raffle contributors and committee members Amy Perez and Carmen Miller who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create such a memorable event.

The success of this evening reflects the heart of the community. Together we are ensuring that our clients receive not only nutritious meals but also the compassion and connection they deserve.
