Walmart Foundation Impact Grant Awarded to State College Meals on Wheels

State College Meals on Wheels is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a grant from Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) and the Walmart Foundation in support of our local program. 

In a competitive grant process State College Meals on Wheels was selected to receive $15,000 toward the purchase of a blast chiller/freezer unit.  This piece of equipment will improve the efficiency and productivity of the food preparation process as well as enhance food handling safety. 

The Walmart Foundation donated $2.2 million dollars to provide essential items of equipment to Meals on Wheels programs across the country to help ease the financial burden of the economic recession and mitigate the ever-rising costs of operation.   

“The Walmart Foundation has once again stepped up to the plate as a powerful partner in the fight to end senior hunger,” said Enid Borden, president and CEO of MOWAA. “They are our largest corporate partner to date and their support will make a tremendous impact in helping our programs sustain meal services well into the future. We can’t thank the Walmart Foundation enough for joining us in our national movement to end senior hunger in America by 2020.”
