Metro Meals on Wheels (MMOW) recently awarded $34,177 to 25 local Meals on Wheels programs in the Twin Cities metro area. All programs receiving grants are members of MMOW. The grants help programs meet a wide variety of needs such as replacing worn-out equipment, upgrading technology, staff training and financial assistance for recipients.

Another $3,000 was awarded to 13 programs for volunteer recruitment, retention and recognition efforts. This special funding was made available to programs thanks to a grant from 3M and the MMOW shopping benefit held at Ten Thousand Villages in March.
