Casey’s and WesleyLife Meals on Wheels say they will work together to reduce hunger among Central Iowans and support both organizations’ missions, according to a news release. With a $150,000 donation, Casey’s will donate $150,000 for Meals on Wheels to serve over 16,000 meals for veterans and older adults. And Casey’s also is now the official fuel provider for WesleyLife Meals on Wheels vehicles, which the news release said transport over 250,000 home-delivered meals annually. “We are deeply grateful for this remarkable support to address food insecurity among older adults and veterans in our community,” said Sophia S. Ahmad, vice president of philanthropy for WesleyLife, in a prepared statement. “Our team at Casey’s is proud to support WesleyLife Meals on Wheels and bring meals to those in need in Central Iowa,” said Nathaniel Doddridge, vice president of fuels at Casey’s and vice chair of the WesleyLife Foundation Board.
