meals on wheels, donation, silver key senior services, summer hunger

 

As the warmth of summer embraces the Pikes Peak region, it brings with it a pressing concern for many of our older neighbors—summer hunger. Rising costs and limited incomes make these months especially difficult for seniors who already struggle to make ends meet.

At Silver Key, we believe no senior should have to choose between buying groceries and paying for medications or other essentials. That’s why we’re here—delivering meals, offering pantry support, and providing vital services that help older adults live with dignity and independence.

We’re proud to share that the Abram and Ray Kaplan Foundation has stepped up in a big way with a $50,000 gift to support Silver Key’s Food Pantry. Their generosity is already making a meaningful difference—and now we’re asking you to help match their spirit of giving.

Your donation today helps:

  • Deliver nutritious meals to homebound seniors through Meals on Wheels 
  • Keep our Food Pantry stocked for hundreds of older adults in need
  • Provide transportation to grocery stores and essential appointments
  • Foster connection and reduce isolation through Companionship and Connections Café programs

These services are a lifeline—not only for older adults but also for grandparents caring for grandchildren who lose access to school meals during the summer. Your gift ensures that these multigenerational households have access to the nourishment and support they need.

Please consider joining the Kaplan Foundation in standing up for seniors in our community. Your compassion helps fill pantries, warm hearts, and bring hope.

Thank you for your continued support and kindness.

Warm Regards,

Jason DeaBueno
