Our Mission

Delivering Nourishment, Connection, and Care Every Day

Our mission is to provide our clients with affordable, nutritious meals, a friendly smile, engaging conversation, and a watchful eye to enhance their well-being and improve their quality of life. Our dedicated volunteers look forward to their weekly visits as much as our clients enjoy seeing them. Many of these volunteers have been proudly serving with Meals on Wheels for decades.”

About Marion Health

Meals on Wheels Grant County is proud to partner with Marion Health, which has been preparing our meals for decades. Each day, Marion Health creates fresh, nutritious meals tailored to meet specific dietary needs, ensuring our clients receive balanced and health-conscious options.

We purchase these meals from Marion Health, and every morning, our dedicated volunteers pick them up to deliver directly to our clients’ doors. By noon, clients receive both a hot meal to enjoy immediately and a cold meal for later in the day, along with milk or juice.

This partnership allows us to consistently provide high-quality meals that support the health and well-being of the individuals we serve.

Our History

Founded in 1980 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Meals on Wheels Grant County was created to address food insecurity in our community. For over four decades, we have provided nutritious, diet-specific meals and friendly visits to help residents maintain independence.

Supported by local donors, grants, and dedicated volunteers—many of whom have served for decades—our program ensures that funds and efforts stay within the community to serve those in need. Meals on Wheels Grant County continues to make a lasting impact, delivering nourishment and human connection to those who need it most.
