Meals On Wheels Atlanta Golf Tournament Raises $130,000 for Senior Nutrition Programs
The 25th Annual Meals On Wheels Atlanta Golf Classic generated $130,000 to fund over 89,000 meals for homebound seniors, addressing critical hunger and isolation issues among Atlanta's elderly population.
Meals On Wheels Atlanta's 25th Annual Golf Classic at TPC Sugarloaf | A PGA TOUR Club raised $130,000, funding more than 18,000 home-delivered meals for Atlanta seniors. Over 100 golfers and corporate partners attended the milestone event to support neighbors who rely on MOWA for lifesaving meals, pet food, and wellness checks. The all-inclusive day featured championship play, on-course contests, premium player gifts, and an awards reception.
The generosity on display ensures thousands of nourishing meals reach seniors who count on us, said Charlene Crusoe-Ingram, CEO of Meals On Wheels Atlanta. Beyond the food, each delivery is a caring connection that reminds our neighbors they are not alone. Our golfers and sponsors showed up in force, said Jamie Martin, Tournament Director. From the first tee shot to the last putt, the energy translated directly into meals—and hope—for our senior neighbors.
Meals On Wheels Atlanta extends its gratitude to the sponsors whose support made this event possible: Sysco, Southern Company, 1792 Capital, Arrow, Plaza Services, Proda Technology, AAA Parking, AP Healthcare, AuthenTEAK, Dakota, Mamie's Kitchen Biscuits, Publix, Red Dog Equity, Roark, Selig, Steelmart Atlanta, Northside Hospital, Asylum Ventures, Golf Warehouse, Holonic Technologies, NAI Brannen/Goddard, Shuma Sports, Supreme Senior Food Services and Tito's.
The organization has expanded fundraising efforts to include social enterprises like 1705WEST, Atlanta's Premier Event Space with a Purpose, and Purposeful Gourmet Foods, The Snack that Gives Back. All proceeds from both efforts benefit MOWA's meals program. The nonprofit now offers multiple services to support Atlanta seniors, including personalized and therapeutic home-delivered and family-style meals, home repair services, an emergency food pantry and a pet pantry allowing seniors to remain at home with their pets.
Since MOWA raises 97% of its funding from private donations each year, events like the golf classic are crucial for sustaining operations. The funds raised address both immediate nutritional needs and the broader issue of social isolation among elderly residents who often have limited mobility and few social connections. The organization will continue its fundraising efforts with the 37th Annual A Meal to Remember on Nov. 7, 2025, at Flourish, Atlanta's premier culinary gala benefiting Meals On Wheels Atlanta.
