OUR FUNDING

Clients are asked to pay a fee per meal toward the cost of the food based on their ability to pay.  That fee may be reduced if it presents a hardship, but some payment is expected from everyone served.  Billing is normally monthly.

Because the payment received on behalf of each client does not cover the full cost of preparing a high-quality meal, our agency depends on the generosity of others to make up the difference. 

We rely on four supplementary sources:

·    Direct donations from clients; their relatives and friends; churches and other religious organizations; clubs and civic organizations; and local businesses

·    United Way of the Eastern Panhandle (annually, through designations and general fund allocations)

·    The Combined Federal Campaign for federal employees (annually, through designated pledges specifying MEALS ON WHEELS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, #66558)

·    Memorial Gifts

MEALS ON WHEELS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY is a 501 (c) (3) agency, all contributions are tax-deductible.
