Meals on Wheels of Summerville is pleased to announce that the inaugural Dink and Deliver Classic pickleball tournament, held on April 13 and 14 at The Pickle Bar, raised $28,000, which will provide more than 8,000 nourishing meals for isolated individuals in the Summerville area. The event brought together pickleball enthusiasts and community supporters for a weekend of competition and fundraising.
The proceeds will directly support Meals on Wheels of Summerville’s core mission to address hunger and isolation among homebound individuals in the Summerville community. As an organization operating without government funding, the donations received play a crucial role in sustaining its services.
