Overview

Mission

Delivery of meals to the homebound

What it reported doing in 2025

MOW Volunteers delivered 17594 meals in 2025 six days weekly (including all holidays) allowing our clients independence to remain in their own homes. Thirty drivers and their autos, six servers, six office staff, one director make this possible. Additional volunteers sub when needed. MOW uses grant money and donations to subsidize $1.05 of the total cost of the meals in order to keep the price to our clients low. We also use this money to provide meals for free to clients for special holidays and sometimes for an entire month if funds allow. There are no paid positions - all volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
