MealsOnWheels

On April 17, the Meals on Wheels staff located at Willow Lawn moved to the new FeedMore administrative offices at 1415 Rhoadmiller Street. This move has helped Meals on Wheels and the Central Virginia Foodbank enhance our joint hunger relief work, offering greater staff support, while maximizing donor dollars.

The Willow Lawn facility will continue to be the main distribution site for Meals on Wheels and this change has caused no interruptions to the daily volunteer operations. If you would like to volunteer or apply for services, please continue to use the main MOW phone #: 673-5035. To make a payment or apply for services in person, please stop by 1415 Rhoadmiller Street and a staff member will be happy to help you.

Through the colloboration and your continued support, the future of MOW and CVFB is brighter than ever!

Over the past 3 years, the staff of Meals on Wheels and the Central Virginia Foodbank have been hard at work, raising money together to build our jointly operated Community Kitchen, that now produces thousands of healthy meals daily for at-risk children, and for the more than 900 homebound residents we serve each day at Meals on Wheels.

And now we are excitedly embarking on a new chapter in our commitment to hunger relief. On July 1, 2008, the Boards of Directors of the Central Virginia Foodbank, and Meals on Wheels formed a combined an umbrella organization named FeedMore, which operates as a holding company for the three distinct groups:  Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia, Central Virginia Foodbank and the Community Kitchen.

Together we are blazing a new trail and writing a new story in nonprofit collaboration. This new partnership will create a new national model as our two agencies combine forces to better serve the hungry in need in our community.

Read the full press release here, to find out more about the exciting next steps and collaborations that are taking place to help us all FeedMore in Central Virginia.

For over a year, our new, environmentally-friendly Community Kitchen has prepared thousands of evening meals for both local children and homebound neighbors in need.

Every weekday morning, from 9 - 12:30 or afternoon from 1:30 - 4:00, individual or group volunteers are needed to fulfill meal production. If you’re part of an office team, civic association, or club, bring your friends and associates to help together, or come alone to have fun working with other people who want to make a difference.

You’ll get a lot out of getting into the Kitchen! Call Kathleen at 237-8601 today to find out more details on how you can get cookin' in the Community Kitchen!
