Why Your Participation Matters
MIALS is dedicated to supporting older adults in our community through programs like Meals on Wheels, the Creative Cafe, Lunch Bunch, and Collective Care. These initiatives help seniors stay active, engaged, and supported in their daily lives.
While grants provide essential funding for our operations, they are not always guaranteed and often come with specific limitations. That’s where donations and fundraising events like Living the Good Life play a critical role. A healthy mix of grants and community contributions ensures we can continue offering vital services sustainably and adapt to the evolving needs of our seniors.
Every bid placed in our auction directly supports these programs, helping us provide meals, social opportunities, and crucial services to those who need them most.
Get Involved!
Don’t miss this opportunity to bid on fantastic items while giving back to your community. Mark your calendars for March 13 and watch MIALS Facebook page and posters around the community to access the auction site. When March 17 arrives, be ready to place your bids—and if you need help on March 23, join our online bidding session to get assistance.
Together, let’s celebrate Living the Good Life while making a real difference for Mayne Island seniors. Happy bidding!
