MOWAA/Wal-Mart Foundation Cure Grant ProgramThanks to a generous donation of $750,000 from the Wal-Mart Foundation, MOWAA was able to award special grants to 80 local MOWAA Member programs in 40 states to assist them in providing meals to homebound seniors. The "MOWAA/Wal-Mart Foundation Cure Grant Program," as the partnership is called, comes at a crucial time, as Meals On Wheels programs across the country are facing serious financial difficulties due to increased gasoline and food prices, a drop in donations as a result of the economic downturn, and growing demand for services. The winning MOWAA Member programs, which were selected through a competitive grant process, were awarded grants of up to $10,000 to restore their nutrition services and help cure the disease of senior hunger that is plaguing America today. We congratulate all of the grant winners and thank the Wal-Mart Foundation for stepping up to the plate and joining us in our fight to end senior hunger.
