Every Tuesday through March, Johnny Mo’s Pizzeria in downtown Edmonds is donating 15% of proceeds to Homage Senior Services’ nutrition programs when customers say one simple word: “Homage”. A meal purchase helps an older adult neighbor get a hot meal. A margarita or mocktail supports someone on a fixed income. And mentioning “Homage
turns a Tuesday dinner into community impact.
In Snohomish County, an estimated 8,000–11,000 older adults face food insecurity and are forced to choose between groceries, medication or keeping the heat on. Many live on fixed incomes stretched impossibly thin by rising costs. For over 50 years, Homage has helped seniors and adults with disabilities age in place — delivering meals, providing transportation, coordinating healthcare, repairing homes and offering mental health support to more than 25,000 people annually.
For many homebound seniors, a Meals on Wheels delivery may be the only face-to-face interaction they have all day, providing not just nourishment but human connection, dignity and care.
