Since
1972, Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee, Inc. has
been providing
nutritional assistance and appropriate supportive
services to individuals in their homes or in
centers throughout Manatee County to help them
continue living independently.
When there is a need, Meals on Wheels PLUS makes
it a goal to fill that
need. Therefore, over the years, many essential services
have been
added:
-
Nutrition
-
Health Monitoring
-
Child Day Care Meals
-
Emergency Aid Assistance
-
Emergency Heat and Energy Assistance
-
Transportation
-
Adult Day Care
-
Outreach Services
-
Volunteer Programs
-
Food Bank for Families and Infants
-
Senior Activity Center
Although receiving some operating funds from local
and Federal governing
bodies, over 60 percent of the Meals on Wheels PLUS
funds needed must be
raised through local donations, grants and fund raising
projects.

What is a Virtual Food Drive?
A
Virtual Food Drive is a safe, secure, simple method to
raise funds to benefit those who receive food baskets
from the Food Bank of Manatee, operated by Meals on
Wheels PLUS.
You
select the items you want to donate, and we purchase the
food at our cost, which is significantly lower than
retail, since we purchase in bulk quantities.
