Grant Stories
Meals on Wheels
Nourishing bodies and spirits of the homebound with balanced meals and friendship.
Through the dedication of 400 volunteers, MOW delivers meals to 500 clients each week. This grant initiated a pilot project to expand the "Low Income Medical Meals Program", a project that provides free therapeutic meals to people who meet certain qualifications. Research suggests that the majority of homebound individuals on food assistance programs do not receive adequate nutrients. This project will provide no-cost weekend frozen meals for 25 clients helping to decrease food insecurity, increase intake of nutritious foods and impact client independence.
