Gloria Meals on WheelsMary Ann is not the first person in her family to be committed to helping people live a better life at home.   Mary Ann’s mother, Gloria Fuentes, was recognized by Meals on Wheels of Tampa to kick off its “25 Days of Giving” Celebration:

“We are kicking off the celebration by recognizing Ms. Gloria Fuentes, founder of Meals On Wheels of Tampa. Almost 40 years ago, this Tampa resident experienced difficulty when caring for her two home-bound relatives who lived on opposite sides of the city. Recognizing the need to assist not only her family, but also others who wanted to remain independent in the security of their own homes, she formed a committee of pastors and church members throughout Tampa to help organize the effort.”
