Meals On Wheels of Sarasota announced that it has partnered with the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to address food insecurity in the community. The bank’s $20,000 contribution will support the organization’s mission to deliver meals and perform important safety checks with those who are unable to leave their home or prepare a meal for themselves.

As part of this effort, the bank is working with local nonprofits to provide assistance to those in urgent need amid the coronavirus pandemic.
