Thank you for supporting Meals on Wheels of Lancaster’s mission to provide nutritionally balanced, freshly prepared meals at a reasonable cost to anyone in our specified area who cannot reasonably prepare meals for themselves.
In addition to food delivery, we strive to increase our education and advocacy efforts to better prepare individuals for later-in-life scenarios. It is our intention to stand as a resource for senior services and support by fostering relationships with local organizations and who will, in turn, increase our sustainability and reduce our reliance on government funding. We invite you to join us in maximizing this opportunity to design and build the perfect space as we look ahead to the oncoming wave of senior and disabled neighbors’ needs.
Learn more about our sponsors and giving opportunities available to you here at Meals on Wheels of Lancaster. We encourage you to consider the impact your dollars can have on the lives homebound seniors throughout Lancaster County.
The cost of our services is not entirely covered by the cost of our meals. We also know that our aspirations to help are larger than our present impact. We get to celebrate joys with our clients such Alfred, a client of 8 years, whose kidney transplant meant he no longer needed our special Therapeutic Renal Diet and is on his own for nutrition again. We also celebrate the changes our clients are excited about as they move into supportive living situations or retirement homes. And, of course, we celebrate the lives of our dearly departed clients. Our service impacts all walks of life because the challenges and limitations that come with aging do not discriminate on issues of race or economics or any other category. It is a joy to be part of people’s lives from the individual receiving service or their family whose burden of care and concern is lowered because we are there daily to bring nutrition and a safety check.
Your financial support upholds all of this. Whether it’s making sure that we have the staffing levels to pilot and innovate programs such as our More Than a Meal Program, develop and implement nutritional options like our Gluten Free diets, or helping cover unpaid costs at the time of someone’s passing. Through long-term assets like the Gail Stumpf Endowment Fund or the dollar-in/dollar-out Vicki Greiner Financial Assistance Program your support ensures a sustainable, high-quality services so that when you’re ready for us we’ll be right here waiting for you.
This year, through a collaborative partnership with the Lancaster Downtowners, we are now able to provide volunteer-based services to eligible Meals on Wheels recipients such as transportation, visitation, light home/yard maintenance, etc. The cost of a Downtowners' membership fee is covered through the United Way of Lancaster County's Level Up & Launch grant opportunity. This grant will also match individual donations made towards the More Than a Meal program between July 1st, 2022 and October 31, 2022. This is a huge opportunity for Meals on Wheels of Lancaster to provide "more than a meal" and we are thrilled to explore this new pilot program this year.
