Meals On Wheels

Our Mission is Simple

Our mission is to deliver nutritious meals to the aged, convalescents, homebound and handicapped persons who are unable to shop or cook for themselves, regardless of race, color, creed, age or ability to pay.

Main Line Meals on Wheels History

Main Line Meals on Wheels was founded in 1972, the result of much time and effort of our founder, Elaine Belmonte. She recruited and organized an initial committee that included the incorporators: Barbara Bailey, Barbara Best, Mary Giersch and Libby Stevens. They along with Nancy Burns and Ada Mutch, served as coordinators at each of the several churches involved in the formation of the program. Committed to meeting the needs of the homebound in our community, they found food providers, generated financial support, worked through the legal requirements and perhaps most importantly, recruited many, loyal volunteers.
