By preparing and delivering hot, nutritious and affordable meals, to the homebound in the Morgantown area, we help people stay in their own homes during periods of disability.
The Morgantown MOW program is an independent, community based program (not affiliated with the national Meals on Wheels Association of America program). The local program is funded by contributions from local foundations, organizations and individuals.
The Morgantown MOW program has two distribution centers (in Star City and Rock Forge) and meals are delivered within a 10-mile radius of each. Meals are delivered Monday - Friday year round, except on specified holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), or community-declared "snow days".
All meals are planned by a licensed dietitian and prepared by certified cooks at the Star City center. Meals are delivered between 10 AM and Noon by volunteer drivers. Clients get either a "general" meal or one prepared specifically for "diabetics." Clients are charged for their meals based on their circumstances. There are no age or income limits for receiving meals.
