WE CAN DELIVER A YEAR'S WORTH OF MEALS, WELLNESS CHECKS, AND CASE MANAGEMENT FOR ROUGHLY THE SAME PRICE AS A ONE-NIGHT STAY IN A HOSPITAL.WHILE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY THIS YEAR, MOWMT HAS LEARNED LESSONS ALONG THE WAY. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO INCUR INCREASED COSTS DUE TO COVID-19 FROM HIRED DRIVERS AND NEW VOLUNTEER TRAINING. TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND CLIENTS, WE HIRED CAMPUS DRIVERS TO DELIVER FROZEN MEALS ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAS MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO FULLY IMPLEMENT OUR MORE THAN A MEAL MISSION OF ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH FOR OUR CLIENTS. WE ARE WORKING TO TRAIN ADDITIONAL VACCINATED VOLUNTEERS TO STAND UP OUR DAILY HOT MEAL DELIVERIES AND IN-PERSON WELLNESS CHECKS.WITHOUT THESE PERSONAL CONTACTS, OUR CLIENTS ARE MUCH MORE VULNERABLE TO THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL ISOLATION-LONELINESS, DEPRESSION, AND HEALTH DETERIORATION.AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO 2022, MOWMT HAS THE FOLLOWING THREE STRATEGIC FOCUSES:*SERVE ADDITIONAL CLIENTS (8,000) THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS IN NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA.

IN JULY, WE BROKE GROUND FOR A NEW BUILDING THROUGH THE DELIVERING HOPE CAMPAIGN. THE NEW BUILDING WILL ALLOW MOWMT TO INCREASE MEAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY FROM 750,000 MEALS TO MORE THAN ONE MILLION MEALS DELIVERED PER YEAR. IT WILL HELP MOWMT STRENGTHEN ITS CURRENT MISSION BY FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, REVENUE GROWTH AND DIVERSIFICATION, BRAND AWARENESS, MISSION VITALITY, AND VOLUNTEER TRAINING AND DEPLOYMENT.
