MEALS ON WHEELS OF SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, INC. HAS ONE PROGRAM - THE DELIVERY OF NUTRITIOUS FRESHLY PREPARED, HOMEMADE MEALS BY CARING INDIVIDUALS WHO PROVIDE A SMILE AND A QUICK SAFETY CHECK. THE YEAR BROUGHT ON A FEW CHANGES INCLUDING RESUMING DAILY HOT MEAL DELIVERY, SHORTER ROUTES FOR VOLUNTEERS, THE ADDITION OF PROVIDING FOOD FOR CONGREGATE MEAL SITES OPERATED BY THE AGING & DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER OF SHEBOYGAN COUNTY (ADRC), AND THE RETURN OF VOLUNTEER GROUPS AT THE MEALS ON WHEELS FACILITY. THERE WAS A LARGE INFLUX IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SERVED AND THE NUMBER OF MEALS DELIVERED. ALL OF THIS, WHILE THE COSTS FOR FOOD INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY AND PAPER GOODS AND CERTAIN FOOD ITEMS BECAME HARDER TO FIND. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO BRING BACK ITS JUNE-A-PALOOZA FUNDRAISER, AND HAD A SUCCESSFUL END-OF-YEAR MAILING WHICH HELPED KEEP THE PROGRAM FINANCIALLY SOUND. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTED TO RAISE THE PRICE OF MEALS DURING THE YEAR, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PROGRAM STABLE WITH THE ADDITIONAL COSTS. IN TOTAL 90,189 MEALS WERE DELIVERED AND 788 INDIVIDUALS SERVED.
