Meals on Wheels Seeks Community Support for Upcoming ‘Seniors Rock’ Dress Down Day

Meals on Wheels Cayman Islands invites the public to take part in the annual Seniors Rock Dress Down Day on Friday, 26 September 2025. For just CI$25, participants can purchase the iconic orange Seniors Rock t-shirt or host a “rock orange” dress down event with donations, helping to ensure seniors receive regular meals.

“Many seniors in Cayman live alone and on fixed incomes, making access to nutritious meals a daily challenge. Our volunteers deliver over 300 meals each day, but rising food costs and a growing elderly population mean community support is vital. Sadly, some seniors remain on our waiting list for service, which is the unfortunate reality we face,” said Jennifer West, Chief Executive Officer of Meals on Wheels.

Each t-shirt or polo purchased feeds one senior for an entire week. Meals on Wheels is especially grateful to Butterfield Bank for its continued sponsorship of this event. “This year Café del Sol has also signed on to make Seniors Rock a little sweeter. For every purchase of the ‘Brewed for Good’ Orange Cold Brew, part proceeds will be donated towards providing hot meals,” added Ms West.

T-shirts can be ordered by emailing info@mealsonwheels.ky  or calling 929-2292. Once ordered, they can be collected from the new Meals on Wheels Administrative Office at 14 Durham Drive, off Industrial Way. Orders will be accepted until stock runs out.

For those unable to take part in Dress Down Day, donations are always welcome at www.pledgeasenior.com. Supporters can also participate in upcoming events including the Turkey Trot 1 Mile & 5K Walk/Run on 30 November, and the Santa for Seniors Food & Gift Drive from 30 November to 20 December 2025.
