What it reported doing in 2024

Meals on wheels of sheboygan county, inc., has one program, the delivery of nutritious freshly prepared, homemade meals by caring individuals who provide a smile and a quick safety check. The expenses for the program in 2024 totaled 1,573,591. We eliminated the donation software called harness and changed over to network for good. Neither program fully met our needs and we are now utilizing givesmart, as of january, as a giving/event platform. We opted not to continue the fundraiser dusk to glow, and instead created a new fundraiser, sip & savor. Tubing was added to the wildwood gardens to aid in irrigation. Additional work was done in the sensory garden to make it more aesthetically pleasing and productive. We continue to need to repair and replace some kitchen equipment. A new warming oven was purchased as a scratch and dent item. New food-safe cabinetry was added in the kitchen. The work on the database continues. We will be expanding our capacity by eliminating a large storage area and adding in a new freezer. We will then convert our current freezer to a cooler. This will double the size of our cooling space while increasing freezer space, ulimately helping us with production and storage of more meals. We were pledged a gift of 105,000 to help cover half the cost of the expansion. We currently have 24 people on staff. We fed a total of 767 unique individuals throughout the year. We continue to provide food for the aging & disability resource center's congregate meal program and in total we prepared and delivered 96,069 meals in 2024.
