Thanks to our meals, 80% of participants have moved toward or maintained a healthy weight since enrolling.
Meal delivery includes a hot lunch and chilled dinner that provide two-thirds of the recommended daily allowance, with each MOWC participant receiving ten meals per week. Food-insecure participants receive extra meals, when available, for the weekends, packaged fresh from hot meal leftovers. On weekdays, each participant receives:
- Four to six ounces of protein
- Four servings of grains
- Six servings of fruit and vegetables
- Two servings of dairy
