What Whittier Meals On Wheels Inc does
Mission
Our sole purpose, since its inception in july of 1971, is making available, healthy meals to persons unable to prepare adequate meals for themselves. This includes people who are confined in their homes due to illness, accident, convalescence, age, or other reasons. The meals are currently prepared under the direction of a dietician at prebyterian intercommunity hospital. Clients pay about the same amount charged us by the hospital. There is an approval process for granting of a full or partial subsidy for persons in need of financial assistance. Our approximately 200 volunteers deliver the meals, consisting of a hot and a cold meal with a choice of milk and juice or juice only, monday through friday. We use a nutritious and varied menu. The amounts of sodium and carbohydrates per day are avergages, not exact amounts for every meal, based on the recommended daily allowances of 2,300 or less milligrams combined. An additional valuable benefit of our service is a short visit by our volun

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $465k to $416k (−11%).
