POTTSTOWN PA — Shorty’s Sunflower Café will host its annual fund-raiser to help pay for meals for local senior citizens and shut-ins, daily between April 7 (2010, Wednesday) and April 18 (Sunday) during regular business hours at the restaurant, 1494 N. Charlotte St., Pottstown PA.

Funds raised from the event support the Meals on Wheels program of Family Services of Montgomery County, based in Sanatoga PA. The café is open Wednesdays through Fridays from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Our staff and customers always look forward to our annual Meals on Wheels fundraiser,” said Liz Bieber, owner of Shorty’s. “By participating in this event, we have a chance to be more involved in our neighborhood, help those most in need and do what we do best: feed the community.”
As part of the fundraiser, Shorty’s staff will sell raffle tickets for $2 each, three for $5, or an arm’s length of tickets for $20. Prizes include gift baskets, art work, and gift certificates to local businesses. In addition, the café is offering “space for sale” in the form of t-shirts the Shorty’s staff will wear during the week-long fundraiser. T-shirt “spaces” are available for $100.
Meals on Wheels provides two meals – a hot lunch and a cold supper to refrigerate – each weekday to an average of 160 home-bound elderly and disabled individuals in Pottstown, Royersford and the Lower Perkiomen Valley. Community volunteers personally deliver more than 81,000 meals a year. For more information, call 610-326-1610.
