Our New Box Truck Has Arrived

Our new 12-foot box truck has arrived and is being prepared for our delivery needs. It is pictured here before any logos or graphics have been applied to the side panels.

The truck was made possible in part by a generous grant from the Walmart Foundation, along with additional funding from our neighbors at the J.M. Smucker Company of Orrville.

We're excited about the arrival of the truck and look forward to putting it into service soon.

Smucker's Supports Meals On Wheels

The J.M. Smucker Company and the Willard E. Smucker Foundation recently made a $3,000 contribution to Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties, to help offset the cost of a new box truck for the agency.

The truck is being purchased as a replacement for one that broke down late in 2009. Delivery of the new truck is expected by early May.

The new truck is essential for the agency's daily deliveries of food to our sites in the two-county area. From those sites, meals are prepared for delivery to our clients.

Smucker's is an internationally known brand, headquartered in nearby Orrville, Ohio. Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties delivers to five routes out of our Orrville location.

We are grateful to Smucker's and their foundation for their generous support of our mission to provide nutritious meals for homebound individuals in Stark and Wayne counties.
