Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, Inc. opened its first packing kitchen site in Anne Arundel County at St. Martin's Lutheran Church in Annapolis in 1974.     

Less than a year later, Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church in Severna Park became another Meals on Wheels kitchen site.  By 1975, a third county packing site was established at the Glen Burnie United Methodist Church, which relocated to the Pascal Senior Center when it opened in 1979.

 
County Executive John Leopold issued an Executive Citation to Salute MOWs' Special Anniversary - it stated "in recognition of 35 years of outstanding service providing nutritious meals to people who are homebound due to age or disability. Your dedication of life has been unprecedented service to all of Anne Arundel County."   

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Clients, Volunteers, and Staff

We are proud to announce that we have a "Hotshot" truck for service in Anne Arundel County!  

On December 15, Meals on Wheels launched the use of a "Hotshot" heated, refrigerated food transport truck for service in Anne Arundel County. We were able to obtain this needed vehicle with a generous grant from Anne Arundel County Deaprtment of Aging from their Federal Stimulus Funds for Senior Nutrition. This truck allows Meals on Wheels to maintain proper food temperatures throughout the process of getting meals into the hand of our clients - from production to delivery by volunteers. 


Shown  here are: Dr. C. Banks, Director, Anne Arundel County Department of Aging & Disabilities and County Executive John Leopold.
