Thank You to Our Donors

We have received funding from various sources to help us through these trying times. First, we received a generous grant from the Margaret W. Wong Fund of The Cleveland Foundation. We are using these funds to purchase food from local restaurants for delivery one day per week to our subscribers. We also have used these funds to purchase items to include in our COVID Care Packages for distribution to our subscribers. We have also received N95 masks from The Cleveland Foundation for use by our volunteers when we restart our food service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland.

We also received a grant from Meals on Wheels America. This grant will allow us to restock our pantry with non perishables food items, fill the freezer with frozen meals,  buy catering and packaging supplies including trays for meal prep and purchase new coolers along with thermal bags for delivery to clients.  Part of the funds will be used to increase communication with our clients and their emergency contacts by the creation of a new user friendly website. This type of technology format will allow individuals as well as our volunteers and the general public/ donors to connect with our organization, view our newsletters, create a user experience for donations and establish online payment options.

Last, we received individual donations from numerous Friends of Meals on Wheels in response to our COVID-19 Emergency Appeal in March. These donations helped us purchase food for meals while we were making decisions about how to help our subscribers during the shutdown. You can view a full list of 2020 donors here.

We and our subscribers appreciate the generosity of the Margaret W. Wong Fund of The Cleveland Foundation, Meals on Wheels America, and YOU!
