The Difference

What sets Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties apart?

For one thing, we deliver to all areas of the two-county region. We're not bound by city or neighborhood limits. That means that homebound individuals from Shreve, on the southwest tip of Wayne County, all the way across to Alliance, on the northeast tip of Stark County -- and all points around and in between -- are benefiting from our service.

Second, we offer a variety of meal options to match any circumstance:
  • Hot meals
  • Sack suppers - for use as a light supper or weekend meals
  • Breakfast - delivered for next day consumptions
  • Frozen meals
  • Liquid supplements
  • Specialized diets
  • Shelf Stable/Emergency meals, which are delivered in the winter should severe weather interrupt delivery.
All meals meet one-third of Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).

Third, we offer financial options. Our Social Services department strives to make it possible for any homebound individual to receive home meal delivery, despite financial limitations.

And fourth, we have people of all ages on the program. It's not just for seniors. We've served babies and small children, teenagers and young adults. If a person is homebound, we're here to help.

Our social services staff does an assessment of each applicant, and service typically begins within two days of a referral.

If you or someone you know would benefit from home meal delivery, don't delay -- contact us today at 330-832-7220, or visit us online at http://www.mow-starkwayne.org/.
