About us
Our mission
Meals on Wheels (MOW) is an independent community service agency whose dedicated volunteers deliver affordable, nutritious meals to seniors and others unable to provide for themselves. This service assists our clients in maintaining their health and well-being. We are an important key to independent living.
History
Since 1982, Meals on Wheels Shaker has been delivering nutritious meals to residents in the communities of Shaker Heights, (including Shaker Square), Beachwood, University Heights and Warrensville Heights, Ohio. Meals on Wheels Shaker is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization (501(c)3) funded through nominal meal fees and charitable contributions generated from private donors, fundraising events and corporate sponsorship. We receive no government funding.
Currently, there are about 50 volunteers who deliver approximately 9,600 meals annually. These same volunteers serve as a social link for many of our clients that are isolated from the outside world due to age, disability or limited mobility. Many of our volunteers have been serving our community for over 20 years; faithfully supporting those needing meals. We exist solely on the generosity of our donors.
