Walmart Foundation Grant to Help With New Truck Purchase

The Meals On Wheels Association, in conjunction with the Walmart Foundation, has selected Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties as one of 147 nationwide recipients of a Walmart Foundation Impact Grant.

The grants will provide Meals On Wheels programs with essential items such as stoves, refrigerators, freezers, delivery vehicles, and other equipment so they can continue providing meals to homebound seniors and other seniors in need.

Locally, we were awarded $15,000, the maximum amount available under the program, toward the purchase of a new delivery truck. We welcome additional donations from corporations and individuals, as the balance of the purchase is about $30,000.

We appreciate the support of the Walmart Foundation and the Meals On Wheels Association of America toward our mission of helping our homebound neighbors live independent lives through proper nutrition.
