Representatives from Portland’s Royal Rosarians will deliver Meals-On-Wheels to homebound seniors served by the Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center on Tuesday, Dec. 23. At the same time they will donate $2,000 to the Center, which will fund 543 hot, nutritious meals or four days of meals to homebound seniors
The Rosarians, who will deliver dressed in their signature white suits and top hats, will pick up their meals at 10:30 a.m. at the Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center, located at 4610 SE Belmont Street, and deliver routes in the neighborhood.
