The Gallatin Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and BTC Bank teamed up March 28 in a fund-raising effort for March for Meals, which benefits the Gallatin Active Aging Resource Center’s (AARC) Meals on Wheels program. March for Meals is a month-long, community-by-community celebration of Meals on Wheels and the vulnerable seniors who rely on the vital service to remain independent at home. According to AARC administrator Deanna Lewis, about 250 meals were served at the community luncheon. With donations, the net revenue from the fund-raiser was about $1,500, minus a few expenses still pending. In addition, the AARC March for Meals Meal Champion promotion raised about $3,300, so the total amount raised for the cause was around $4,800. Meal Champions are businesses and individuals who donated $200 to sponsor a day’s meals in March. “We had great community support,” says Deanna.
