March for Meals Walk and Brunch at Cranes Roost, March 14

Meals on Wheels, Etc. will hold its annual March for Meals Walk & Brunch at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs on Saturday, March 14, 2026, inviting neighbors to a morning of walking, music and food to raise funds for Seminole County seniors. The organization’s calendar lists the event from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and the program pairs a scenic walk or run around the lake with a complimentary tasting menu prepared by Top Hat Catering.

Registration details reported by the Sanford Herald list adults at $35 and children 16 and younger at $20, and both Doorlandonorth and the City of Altamonte Springs calendar note that each registered walker will receive a Meals on Wheels, Etc. swag bag. Mealsetc, the nonprofit’s official site, says event T-shirts will be available for purchase this year and that a 50/50 raffle will be part of the morning; Doorlandonorth and MySanfordHerald also report raffle tickets will be on sale during the event.

Sources differ on the planned route. Meals on Wheels, Etc.’s calendar describes a 1.3-mile walk/run around Cranes Roost Park, while Doorlandonorth and the Sanford Herald describe an optional 3.1-mile, 5K walk/run around the lake. Altamonte Springs’ event listing calls this the 4th Annual March for Meals Walk & Brunch and characterizes the course as a “scenic walk/run around the lake.” The organizer’s calendar and local listings present the competing descriptions; the calendar entry explicitly invites participants to “join us for our 1.3-mile walk/run around beautiful Cranes Roost Park.”

Organizers frame the morning as a direct funding opportunity for Meals on Wheels, Etc.’s senior meal program. The Sanford Herald reports the nonprofit’s fundraising message as: “Every donation provides five nourishing meals for a senior, including a personal visit from a Meals on Wheels, Etc., volunteer.” Executive director Mike McKee reinforced that framing in event publicity: “Meals on Wheels, Etc., is more than just a meal, and March for Meals is more than just a walk. This event is a way for us to raise funds, bring awareness, and celebrate the amazing community we serve.”

Meals on Wheels, Etc. lists its headquarters at 2801 S. Financial Court, Sanford, FL 32773, and the nonprofit’s public phone number is 407-333-8877 with office hours Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residents planning to attend can register through the organization’s event calendar and are encouraged to review event details for route and ticketing information ahead of arrival. The morning at Cranes Roost Park is designed to combine community visibility, volunteer connection and direct fundraising to sustain meal delivery for Seminole County seniors.
