ANNUAL
REPORT...
Thanks to you, St. Vincent
Meals on Wheels delivered
797,148 meals to the homebound
and hungry of Los Angeles in 2014!
We couldn’t have done it without

WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Entrust Your Work...
Continued from page 1
TV show.
After college, Rhonda enjoyed
a career as a runway, print and TV
model. Later, she worked as an
executive assistant.
In 2009, at age 52, Rhonda was
diagnosed with advanced colon cancer.
Her past five years have been filled
with grueling treatments, including
four surgeries, chemotherapy and
radiation. She is now recovering from
her fourth major surgery.
“These healthy meals have worked
miracles for me,” said Rhonda. “I was
underweight and worried about food.
I can’t shop, cook or clean up. I really
enjoy the turkey and chicken dinners,
and any time there is pie for dessert.
My weight is finally getting back to a
healthy number.”
In addition, we deliver donated pet
food to Jasmine and Blondie to ensure
that Rhonda doesn’t need to share her
meal and that everyone gets proper
nourishment.
Rhonda is one of about 160 meals
...in the Lord and your plans
will succeed.
With Jasmine and Blondie.
on wheels clients who are under
65 years old, but who need home
delivered meals due to serious illnesses
or disabilities. This is one way St.
Vincent Meals on Wheels differs from
government meal programs that don’t
serve anyone under 65.
Now that her cancer treatment is
completed, Rhonda is starting to feel
better and get her strength back. “Once
I’m well again, I want to give back in
thanks for what I’ve been given,” she
said. “So watch out world.” l
Creating a future where no L.A. senior goes hungry.
We honor these friends who are providing for the future of
St. Vincent Meals on Wheels through their bequest, intention or
planned gift received between September 24 and December 31, 2014.

— Proverbs 16:13
A wonderful year has come to
a close amid a lot of joy, cheering,
giving to others and also taking time
to send grateful wishes to so many of
our “Angels.”
I am so grateful for the
donations, the gift bags for our
clients, the extra special meals our
staff put together and cheerfully
delivered on the holidays and the
many greeting cards sent by our
friends and business partners and
grateful clients. The Lord has indeed
seen to it that our many plans for
service each day of the past year
have succeeded and now we jump
into 2015.
Daily I get calls for more meals
needed and funds not available. How
can people live on so little? With
rent, utilities and medicine there
is nothing left for food. I do pray
daily for the needed funds to keep
our hot, nutritious meals filling our
trays that go to our desperate clients.
I entrust our work each day to the
Lord and know he will continue
to send the needed resources to
accomplish our mission—to feed
the hungry.
We are grateful for you and
ask God to help all your plans to
succeed—they will. Have a peacefilled 2015 and once again, I am
grateful for your continued support
and caring.
God bless you!
Sister Alice Marie, D.C.
