Established in 1974, the oldest and largest national organization is Meals on Wheels America, which supports more than 5,000 community - based senior nutrition organizations across the country. By providing funding, leadership, education and advocacy support, Meals on Wheels America empowers its local member programmes to provide services to their communities. With local programmes, they galvanize the resources of local community organizations, businesses, donors, sponsors and more than two million volunteers -- bolstered by supplemental funding from the Older Americans Act -- into a national safety net for seniors.
