We increased the number of meals delivered since 2013 by 4% and increased the number of meals served since our inception by 354,824. We reached out to our communities in ways never done before.

We proudly provide life-giving nutrition that nourishes the body and feeds the soul of the homebound and nutritionally at-risk in our community, and we have been doing so since 1973. Ending hunger has always been at the center of our mission, and we are honored to remain the largest home-delivered meal program in the area, serving more than 1,300 meals daily to individuals of all ages, for better health, mobility and independence. Care Coordination: These clients are assigned to the Agency through their case manager at the Area Agency on Aging 10B. Despite the challenges of the recent global economic crisis, including stagnant federal and state funding programs and increases in food prices, we have continued our mission of providing meals to our neighbors in need. Even with the challenges we faced in 2014, we experienced many successes. The generosity of our corporate citizens remains strong. While the names of the entities may vary from year to year, we are extremely appreciative of this year’s major donors —Baker Hughes, StarCon, Progressive Auto Group, Banfield Charitable Trust, Darden Restaurants, Subaru and the Meals on Wheels Association of America. They were vital to the capital improvements and meal subsidies for our clients. In addition, we are so grateful to all the corporate sponsorships for our third annual Main Event fundraiser ‘Hunger Doesn’t Take A Holiday,’ recognizing our Main Event Honorees, AEP Ohio and Certified Angus Beef LLC, and our first ever Volunteer Honoree, Mary Mears, for their invaluable support of our organization. This event raised $130,000, exceeding our goal by $5,000. What an incredible and transformative year for our agency! Thanks to over 600 dedicated volunteers, members of our staff and the support of the community, we were able to successfully continue our life-saving work.
