STATE ASSOCIATIONS

AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SUPPORT

Meals on Wheels America created its State Association structure in 2008 to facilitate non-profit organizations and governmental agencies within the same state to work together to strengthen their senior nutrition services. State Associations provide the highest quality representation, education and training, and services to all their Members, and enhance their professionalism and the performance of the organizations they represent.
 

REASONS FOR INCORPORATING A STATE ASSOCIATION
