SUPPORT

The City of Chico and the United Way are our largest benefactors and a number of organizations and individuals contribute regularly.  Fundraising has become increasingly important as our costs have increased.  We have had success raising monies in the past several years through our $30 A Year Club, grant writing and vehicle donations.

The need for Chico Meals on Wheels has increased dramatically over the past several years.  In 2009 we delivered 26,709 meals, 34% more meals than just seven years ago (2002 – 19,921 meals).  We have continued to expand our service area and added routes and equipment to increase our efficiency.  We also work with many other local agencies assisting them with meals and access to special diets unavailable to their programs.
