The Meals on Wheels Plus program in Abilene provides meals to well over 1,400 people each day. Meal recipients live in Abilene and surrounding towns such as Ballinger, Eula, Hamby, Hamlin, Hawley, Hodges, Ovalo, Potosi, Rowena and Winters. They are unable to feed themselves and are either elderly, disabled, or both.
By participating in or donating to Meals on Wheels Plus’ annual Sporting Clays Classic, you help feed those in our community who cannot feed themselves. The Sporting Clays Classic will take place on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
The skeet shooting will be held on Saturday, August 24th at the Abilene Clay Sports South shooting range, 1102 E. Spur 707. It starts promptly at 8:30 a.m. and runs until the last shooter leaves, or 11:30 a.m. There will be a few raffles and an auction, so get your tickets early and good luck.
Registration for clay pigeon shooting includes breakfast, a barbecue lunch and the chance to win grand prizes.
The entry fee is only $150 per shooter. Each shooter will receive 100 targets, a continental breakfast and a raffle ticket as six rifles and other items will be raffled off. Additionally, all registered shooters will receive a 16th Annual Sporting Clays Classic event t-shirt and a barbecue lunch supplied by The Shed.
Please register in advance by calling Meals on Wheels at 325-672-5050 or email JoAnne Glantz at [email protected]. Sponsors and volunteers are needed and still available. Just contact Meals on Wheels Plus, JoAnne Glantz, at 325-672-5050.
