Aging & Family Services of Mineral County is proud to announce the
14th annual 5K fundraising run/walk at Jennings Randolph Lake. 

“Conquer the Dam” is one of the most scenic 5Ks in our area. Proceeds from this event will support the Meals on Wheels program of Mineral County.  Jennings Randolph Lake is a reservoir of 952 acres located on the North Branch Potomac River in Mineral County, WV, and Garrett County, Maryland.  The lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Construction of the lake was completed in 1981.  The highlight of this event is that runners and walkers will travel over the dam and spillway, normally closed to public travel.

Meals on Wheels Fundraiser

All proceeds from this event go towards our Meals on Wheels program. This program was designed to bring hot, nutritious meals to the home-bound elderly and prevent unnecessary and early institutionalization. Not only do they receive a delicious meal, but they also get a visit from a friendly worker who is there to check on their wellbeing. The delivery workers are sometimes the only social contact that the meal recipients have.

There have even been a few instances where our drivers have found that the client had fallen, and they were able to call 911 and wait with them until help arrived. This program is much more than just a meal delivery service.
