Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties has been serving homebound and nutritionally at risk individuals by providing home delivered meals and congregate dining for more than 35 years.

Established in 1973 as the "Stark/Wayne Nutrition Project," it was a direct service of United Way of Central Stark County. In the course of its affiliation with United Way, the program underwent a second name change and became known as "Three Score Dining", remaining with that moniker until October 1991, when it became an independent agency and adopted the Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties name.
 
Until 1997, Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties was a "catered" company purchasing prepared meals through a caterer, who transported them to our satellite nutrition sites in Stark and Wayne counties. Site Coordinators then finished the preparation and packaging for individual delivery. The Spring of 1997 saw the completion of a specially designed commissary, unique to this area. The menu is planned by our staff dietitian and prepared by our staff professionals, meeting and exceeding all guidelines recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

During the first year of operation (1973), a total of 435 meals were provided daily. Today, the agency serves nearly 2,000 meals daily, Monday through Friday. The agency’s on-site commissary is designed to accommodate the preparation of 5,000 meals per day.

Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties delivers meals throughout the two-county area via 21 distribution sites. For a complete list of our delivery sites, please visit our delivery area page by clicking on this link.
