THE VALUE OF MEMBERSHIP

INCREASE YOUR RESOURCES AND REDUCE EXPENSES

  • Member-Only Funding – We continue to build national partnerships that provide much-needed funding for Meals on Wheels programs. In 2022, we distributed more than $5.4 million in grants funding and revanue to help our Members respond expand capacity, fill funding gaps and feed more seniors.

  • Federal and Grassroots Advocacy Efforts – Not only do we fight for your programs on Capitol Hill, we equip Members with the tools you need to advocate for more adequate funding at all levels of government. Members benefit from frequent “Washington Update” emails, our newly improved Member Advocacy Center and our national advocacy campaigns.

  • National Volunteer Recruitment Efforts – The “America, Let’s Do Lunch™” PSA campaign put Meals on Wheels in the national spotlight, recruiting a whole new generation of volunteers to support your programs and your seniors.
  • Member Discount Program – We’ve leveraged the buying power of the entire Meals on Wheels network to deliver huge savings on the products and services you use most. Our latest partnership with Valley, Inc. enables Members to expand meal capacity, choice offerings and geographic reach through cost-effective meal purchasing and client-direct drop shipments.

BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER

  • National Campaigns – Members can leverage our turnkey community engagement campaigns – such as our annual March for Meals – to raise awareness and much-needed funding in their own communities.
  • National Research – Members can be a part of making the case for increased federal, state, and local support, as well as capturing best practices, piloting innovative approaches and various research initiatives. 

  • National Branding – Members have the ability to make the national award-winning Meals on Wheels brand their very own and showcase their affiliation with this powerful movement. We’ve even created the tools and support to help you through the rebranding process. 

LEARN AND GROW

  • Learning @ Meals on Wheels America – Our learning opportunities and events include traditional formats such as in-person sessions and intensive workshops at the Meals on Wheels Annual Conference, to live and on-demand webinars, and more.

  • Information to Keep Members Current – We work diligently to keep Members informed of industry insights, innovative practices, legislative developments and national initiatives so that they can stay focused on running their programs. 
  • Peer-to-Peer Networking – We know there’s tremendous value to be learned from peers who are dealing with similar issues across the country. That’s why we launched Meals on Wheels Connect – an online Member-only platform designed to bring the network together in a way that's focused, valuable and all your own.
