ANNUAL REPORT January 15, 2014

Thank you, Friends of Meals on Wheels!

Each of you have made a difference in our agency in numerous ways during 2013.

The work in carrying out the mission of Meals on Wheels is unwavering and so is

the commitment you’ve made. For that, we are grateful.

The annual report creates a perfect opportunity to thank all of the Meals on Wheels

volunteers, donors, Board of Directors and staff that have made it possible for the

agency to nourish the elderly and/or homebound people in our communities.

Without hands-on volunteering, monetary contributions, governance and

direction, as well as the “behind the scenes” work, the seniors and homebound

individuals of Shawnee and Jefferson County would not have this much needed

service.

With your help during 2013, MOW was able to:

Begin weekend and holiday meal service in Topeka

Carryout a successful March for Meals campaign

Participate in the first annual Topeka Gives event

Host a very successful Sumptuous Evening Gala

Provide 232,454 meals throughout Shawnee and Jefferson Counties.

MOW’s 2014 strategic approach includes:

Delivering 155,101 in-home meals and providing 93,254 meals at the

dining centers

Enhancing MOW visibility throughout the community.

Carrying out successful fundraising efforts

Strengthening ties with current and potential volunteers

Our services and expertise are in high demand, and thanks to strong supporters, we

have the capacity to respond. I invite you to read our annual report for additional

accomplishments and a snapshot of the health of our organization.

With all Sincerity,

A Message from the President & CEO
