AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Abila, the leading provider of software and services to associations, nonprofits, and government entities, announced today Meals on Wheels America is using Abila netFORUM Enterprise™ to enhance easy access to data, resources, and opportunities to self-service for its community-based members across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger.

"netFORUM Enterprise provides the best combination of ease-of-use and flexibility. We now have a system that makes life easier on the internal staff and delivers more value to the local member communities."
