About Meals On Wheels

CHAGRIN FALLS MEALS-ON-WHEELS, INC.

MISSION STATEMENT

Chagrin Falls Meals-On-Wheels, Inc. is a local non-profit, volunteer-staffed home delivered meal service. We receive no government subsidy and our program is available to all regardless of income. Our service provides nutritionally balanced meals to recipients in eastern Cuyahoga and southwestern Geauga counties.

Nourishing meals are delivered to elderly and disabled persons who are unable to provide meals for themselves. Participants of any age must be homebound due to illness or physical limitations. A volunteer driver plus a rider deliver each meal to a recipient while checking the safety and well-being of the recipient as well as the condition of the home.

With caring volunteers delivering the meals, recipients are able to continue independent living in their own homes. Nutritious meals are planned and prepared by a professional cook (the only paid staff person) and a team of kitchen volunteers Monday through Friday. A payment of $5.00 per day is requested but no one is turned away for lack of ability to pay.

An annual fundraising letter is sent to the community requesting donations. These donations keep us from being in a monthly deficit and allow us to maintain our $5.00 per day charge to recipients.

OUR MISSION:

To provide nutrition, independence and caring to recipients in the Chagrin Valley

To offer nutritious meals at a reasonable cost through the coordinated efforts of the cook and board of directors

To solicit both financial and volunteer support from the community to sustain our meal service program

To recognize and appreciate the dedication of volunteers who contribute time and talent in serving this organization
