Plan shared in front of hundreds of local Meals on Wheels program leaders and national partners at the organization’s 50th anniversary convening in Baltimore
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Meals on Wheels America’s 50th anniversary is a moment to celebrate and honor the leadership organization’s five decades of achievement in supporting community-based Meals on Wheels programs around the country. It also serves as a reminder of the crucial change needed for a population that has been underfunded and ignored for far too long. The Meals on Wheels network provides life-saving services for millions of seniors every day, but too many older Americans are still waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. That’s why the organization today announced at its 2024 Meals on Wheels Annual Conference and Expo a bigger, bolder plan to ensure every senior who needs Meals on Wheels gets it.
