Meals on Wheels

 
 
“In 2008, Meals on Wheels for WNY delivered 865,000 meals to nearly 3,400 homebound elderly and special needs clients through the service of 2,000 volunteers. Between 2006 and 2008, the agency saw an increase in clients and meals served; delivering an additional 90,000 meals throughout WNY.
 
The cost of our services has increased, as a result of rising supply, production and distribution costs. There has been a decline in our average client contribution; however, we continue to serve homebound individuals regardless of their ability to pay for meals.”
