Valley Park Meals on Wheels
The Meals-on-Wheels program was started back in 1972 by an ecumenical
women's group called Church Women United. In 1993 MOW separated from
Church Women United and became a separate corporation called 'Meals on
Wheels of Greater St. Louis. Today there are 16 programs in St. Louis
city and county. Each program is independent and has its own food source
and distribution point.
The Valley Park Meals-On-Wheels program delivers hot meals each week
day to seniors and disabled residents. Meals are prepared at Cape Albeon.
Diners pay for their meals, never more than $3.00, with subsidies
for low income residents. We look to service clubs, fraternal
organizations, church groups and individuals to make up the difference
between what we charge recipients and what we pay the food source.
If you know of anyone in the Valley Park, Twin Oaks or Fenton area
(North of Bowles Ave) who could benefit from this service call Jackie at
636-394-7531.
This service is provided by an all volunteer staff. Volunteers work as
little as 2 hours one day every other week.
Each day has a different Day Chair, different Cold Packers and
different Drivers. Behind the scenes, there is a Recruiter, Dispatcher,
Secretary, Bookkeeper/Treasurer and a President.
Meals on Wheels receives no government funds. It is a non-profit
organization under the Missouri tax code. Contributions are tax deductible.
Contributions may be sent to:
