Grant to reduce hospitalizations and ER visits
We are honored to accept the 2013 Expanding the Vision Grant through the Meals On Wheels Association of America and the Walmart Foundation. We will receive $94,439 toward reducing re-hospitalizations and improving care of recently discharged patients by providing meals within Tarrant County.
The target audience is recently discharged (within two weeks) hospital patients or emergency room patients age 60 or older residing in Tarrant County. The average hospitalization cost within Tarrant County is $25,000. If we meet the goal of reducing hospitalization of 60 clients within the service period, it could potentially save $1.5 million, which is a return on investment of 1,400%.

Promote philanthropy at your school by raising money for Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County
Promote community service to your students, teachers, and administrators through a common fundraiser for Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County. Visit our website to see letters, materials, and ideas you can copy or use as inspiration.
A Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County supporter who is an elementary school teacher spearheaded a fundraiser using these materials and raised more than $1,300 in only two weeks. That’s nearly enough to feed one of our clients for an entire year! She told us how easy it was to conduct this fundraiser and how much fun the students had.
