Funding
Funding to support Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley comes from a variety of sources. Through a contract with the Monterey County Area Agency on Aging, we receive reimbursement for meals provided to seniors that covers some of our costs. However, we receive no government reimbursement for meals delivered to non-senior, disabled adults. We raise about two thirds of our income through client donations; donations from individuals, businesses, service clubs and other community based organizations; foundation, corporate and city grants; United Way; and special fundraising events.
