OUR MISSION
Meals on Wheels of Mercer County delivers healthy meals and provides friendly connections
to our community neighbors who experience challenges in accessing nutritious food and support.
OUR VISION
MOWMC strives to eliminate food insecurity and social isolation in our communities and neighborhoods
so that all people can live nourished lives with independence and dignity.
CORE VALUES
We hold the following values to be integral to our organization
and will endeavor to reflect them in all our actions and fundraising decisions.
1. Community: MOWMC values the transformative impact of collaboration across those joined by our mission: participants, volunteers, staff, donors, and community supporters. By working together, fostering open communication, and building caring, supportive environments, we can achieve something bigger as a team than we could alone.
2. Equity: MOWMC is committed to eliminating barriers to ensure that all who have need have equal access to service.
3. Innovation: MOWMC embraces creativity, learning and responsiveness by moving quickly and continuously to innovate our approach in meeting the unique needs of those we serve.
4. Empathy: We root ourselves in shared humanity and respect, and we treat each other with kindness, compassion, and grace, honoring the dignity and worth of our participants, volunteers, donors, and staff – especially those different from ourselves.
5. Stewardship: We honor the resources entrusted to us – food, funds, community, trust, and well-being – by acting with integrity, accountability, and transparency. Guided by ethical principles, we commit to doing what is right, fostering an environment of openness and responsibility in all that we do.
