We deliver 6,000 meals a day throughout Franklin, Madison, Marion, Champaign, and Logan Counties. Meal options include hot, cold, frozen, specialty diet, kosher, vegetarian, pureed and mechanical. In fact, the cost of one day in a hospital equals the cost of ONE YEAR of Meals-on-Wheels. The cost of one month of care in a nursing home equals providing Meals-on-Wheels for seven years. Volunteers are the heart of Meals on Wheels. In 2024, 8,000 volunteers donated over 163,000 hours and nearly 506,000 miles. Carrie's Café, our premiere Senior Dining Center, has been recognized as a national model in congregate dining, providing socialization, enriching programming, and nutritious meals.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

3 · Compensation committee
3 · Form 990 of other organizations
3 · Written employment contract
