Meals on Wheels Wyoming Valley
We thank Ernie Trujillo, who designed and put up the sign at the Market Street parking lot of Church of Christ Uniting, Kingston.
Meals on Wheels Wyoming Valley has operated out of the kitchen of Church of Christ Uniting for over 50 years. It is a home delivery program that provides meals for anyone who could use help with a prepared meal. In 2022, Meals on Wheels prepared and delivered 19,487 meals throughout the Wyoming Valley and the Back Mountain.
For only $30 per week ($6 per day), clients receive ten meals every week: two meals a day Monday through Friday. These meals are freshly prepared in consultation with a registered dietician. The program provides meals for veterans and people on fixed income, special needs, recently discharged from a hospital or nursing home, recovering from illness or unable for whatever reason to prepare a meal.
Meals on Wheels Wyoming Valley is a community-based, non-profit program. We depend solely on donations to keep providing meals for those in need. We do not receive government funding. We currently serve clients who live in Nanticoke, Ashley, Wilkes-Barre Township, Plymoth, Wyoming, the West Side, and the Back Mountain. Clients do not need to qualify financially to receive meals.
