What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Meals On Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) is working to address the alarming rates of economic and food insecurity in the senior population of metro Atlanta, which is among the most rapidly aging cities in the country, second only to Washington, D.C. (Atlanta Regional Commission’s Aging Snapshot, 2021). In Georgia, 27% of seniors are experiencing or at risk of food insecurity (Meals on Wheels America, 2021). Many live on limited incomes and cannot afford nutritious food, and many struggle to prepare their own meals due to disability or limited mobility. MOWA’s goal is to fight senior hunger in Atlanta by providing freshly prepared dinner meals, shelf-stable breakfast meals, supplemental nutrition, and pet food so our clients do not have to share their own food with pet companions. We have set a goal of expanding our production to 620,000 meals this year, but with rising operating costs, we can only achieve this growth with increased support from our donors and community partners.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Meal Services

Our flagship program, Meal Services, provides nourishing meals to older adults who are unable to afford or access adequate nutrition. With the help of our dedicated corps of volunteers, our Meal Services program delivers meals to frail, homebound, and/or low-income seniors residing in the Atlanta area.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The ultimate goals of Meals On Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) are to eliminate senior hunger in the Atlanta area and to help ensure that our community's seniors have the support they need to maintain their independence, health, and quality of life as they age.

Propelled by the alarming rates of poverty and food insecurity among Atlanta's rapidly growing senior population, MOWA has developed an ambitious plan to multiply our impact among at-risk seniors. Launched in 2021, this plan charts a three-year course to significantly expand MOWA's core programming by 2023. The plan's three major target metrics are:

1). Serve 620,000 meals per year
2). Generate $7M in annual funding
3). Complete 250 home repair projects per year

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

To achieve our 2023 Strategy, MOWA is implementing several multi-year initiatives, including:

1. Maximize Capacity & Efficiency: MOWA will design and build a new kitchen, food pantry, and volunteer space; maintain personnel costs under 35% of revenue; and "go greener" by reducing paper use.
2. Empower through Technology: MOWA will upgrade our social enterprise e-commerce platform; launch a mobile app for volunteers; and upgrade our purchasing and inventory systems.
3. Broaden Revenue Sources: MOWA will increasing recurring donations; expand major donor base; and grow endowment fund.
4. Elevate Brand Messaging: MOWA will raise brand awareness survey scores; secure stories in local media; and increase social media followers.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

MOWA has more than 50 years of institutional experience in providing meals and other support services for seniors. This legacy has given MOWA a strong reputation in the community, which helps us attract highly competent staff, strong board and staff leadership, dedicated volunteers and donors, and valuable community partnerships. Through the commitment and collaboration of these various stakeholder groups, we are continually expanding and fine-tuning our programming to meet the needs of Atlanta's senior community. Our board and staff have recently completed an extensive renovation to increase the capacity of our prepared meal and shelf-stable meal programming, as well as accommodate our growing need for volunteer support. This initiative will also enable our growth by supporting our needs around technology, transportation, and sustainability.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since 2015, MOWA has succeeded in expanding our Meal Services program from serving about 160,000 annually to serving more than 600,000 annually. And, after learning that the single daily meal we deliver was the only source of food for 68% of our clients, we launched a breakfast program to provide our clients with a second daily meal.

We have also significantly grown the impact of our Home Repair Services program, expanding our per-home budget from about $4,800 in 2015 to nearly $20,000 today through increased commitments from funders and increased focus on larger, more transformational home projects.

Finally, we have launched two social enterprises, Purposeful Gourmet Foods and 1705WEST (a premium event venue), to serve as a revenue stream for our meals program. While we have made exciting progress over the last several years, we remain focused on the work still to be done to achieve our goals of serving 620,000 meals and repairing 250 homes per year by 2023.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
