You're invited!

Local celebrities will be volunteering to deliver meals to your table while celebrity judges sample and score each dish to declare a champion— there will also be a people’s choice awarded by you! The Top Chef and People’s Choice winner will receive special recognition and all chef recipes will be incorporated in Spectrum Generations’ Meals on Wheels menu.

By bringing food from the fields of Maine farms to the plates of Maine’s seniors, We Sustain Maine reduces senior hunger, supports Maine farmers, and ultimately helps Maine’s economy by reinvesting local dollars back into our communities. Spectrum Generations prepares and delivers 200,524 meals to more than 1,600 home bound seniors in central Maine who depend on Meals on Wheels for their nutrition. Recent federal budget cuts have forced the non-profit, for the first time in forty years, to create a waiting list of those in need. For many who are homebound, there is no other place to turn for help.
