We’re proud to announce that Laura M., a high school student, recently received our first-ever Presidential Volunteer Service Award which recognizes someone who completes between 50-500 hours of volunteer service in a year. Laura volunteered over a hundred hours of time to our efforts over eight months – supporting a variety of activities including packing meals and snack boxes, and decorating birthday bags for seniors. Congrats, Laura, and thank you for your service!

Our Board of Directors recently held a retreat at our facility on Radcliff Dr. – a time to come together and support the mission of Meals on Wheels of Southwest OH & Northern KY. Two of our clients – who receive support through transportation and group meals – spoke with board members about their experiences. Our board also volunteered during the retreat – packing snack boxes and prepping meals for delivery. We appreciate their time and all they do for our organization.
