What Hale County Meals on Wheels does
Mission
Respecting the dignity of every human being, Hale County Meals on Wheels will provide nutritious, home delivered meals to those who are homebound, elderly or disabled who reside in the city limits of plainview and the seth ward community. Home delivered meal clients must meet the following criteria: be homebound or need assistance to leave home, be unable to prepare a well-balanced meal each day, and must not have anyone who is available to prepare meals for them. In addition to providing a weekday noon-time meal, we seek to break the social isolation experienced by the homebound by providing warm, caring, friendly contact through our volunteers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
To provide home-delivered meals to home-bound, eligible individuals. An average of 219 meals are served per day for approximately 251 days each year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $460k to $497k (+8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

96% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
