CONROE, TX – Meals on Wheels Montgomery County (MOWMC) is preparing for their largest fundraiser of the year, the fourth annual “The Great Pumpkin Shoot – Aiming To Feed Seniors” sporting clays tournament on October 25, 2019 at the Blackwood Gun Club in Conroe, to benefit the homebound elderly of Montgomery County.
Community sponsorships help defray expenses and feed more seniors. SWBC Mortgage is the presenting sponsor for the fourth year in a row.
“We are grateful to SWBC, Entergy, Planet Lincoln, Milstead Automotive, and Vitruvian Exploration for being a part of this event every single year”, stated Louise Crider, Board Chair for Meals on Wheels Montgomery County.

Every sponsor receives recognition at the Great Pumpkin Shoot, on the MOWMC website, in the program (deadline Oct. 15), and signage at the event. Sponsors may also opt to have promotional items in the registration bags. Interested sponsors and teams are encouraged to contact Sarah Redfield at sarah@mowmc.org or 936-756-5878 as soon as possible or signup online at www.mowmc.org/greatpumpkinshoot.
All levels of shooters are invited to attend and sign up! Registration includes breakfast, 72 clays, ammunition, golf cart, a delicious lunch catered by Avenida Brazil, raffles and trophy awards.

“This is a fun event with a large auction that encourages both shooters and non-shooters to participate in an event that makes a significant impact on our underserved vulnerable senior population,” said Summer Day, Executive Director, MOWMC.
Founded in 1973, Meals on Wheels delivered 143,473 nutritious meals this past fiscal year to the fragile homebound senior population. Each meal delivery is accompanied by a friendly smile and conversation, helping to reduce senior loneliness. These visits also serve as a safety check, ensuring each senior is safe in their home. Meals on Wheels Senior Rides program helps eliminate the isolation associated with the inability to drive, while providing much needed transportation services to doctors, dialysis, grocery store, and other appointments.
Volunteers are always needed to help with delivering meals, events, prepare mailings, and assist with program needs. The Angel Tree needs volunteers to connect with clients to establish their needs for the Angel Tree Gift Program.
