Overview

Mission

Three village meals on wheels provides a home delivered meal program for homebound, handicapped, chronically ill, or convalescent persons in their community who are unable to prepare their own food. The service began in 1983 by serving meals to 13 clients. To date the organization has provided meals to over 2,000 people in and around the northern part of brookhaven township.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization provides home delivered meals to elderly or disabled who, due to immobility and isolation, are unable to prepare their own meals. There is no minimum age requirement. Referrals are made by doctors, social service agencies, hospitals, clients themselves, neighbors or family members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
