Clients

These are the people we serve — individuals with restricted mobility who are elderly, handicapped, or convalescing, and who would not be able to have a hot meal every weekday without our services. We are always glad to welcome new clients in the area we serve.

Volunteers

Without our faithful kitchen helpers, the meals would not get prepared. Without our stalwart delivery volunteers, none would get delivered. At present we have about 240 volunteers (we need more!), and most take a turn every other week, with some generously doubling up or filling in for others when needed.

Donors

Meals on Wheels operates with no government assistance in any form. Roughly 35-40% of our annual budget must come from tax-deductible donations given generously by donors in the community.

Client Administrator

Cheryl Yeager, the Client Administrator, one of our four paid employees, is responsible for every aspect of client-facing operations. She interviews, qualifies, and enrolls clients, and documents any special needs; handles all client records, billing, and accounts; plans delivery routes; and informs the Head Cook of daily meal requirements. She also helps package the meals for delivery and, in a pinch, even delivers some meals.

Head Cook

Our Head Cook, Melissa Izer, is responsible for producing hot, nutritious home-cooked meals for our clients. She oversees all kitchen operations, including ordering, storage, and inventory of food and supplies; training and direction of our volunteer kitchen helpers; timely preparation of meals; kitchen cleanup; and compliance with host church and Health Department standards and regulations.

Assistant Cook

Kitchen Assistant

Joining our staff in 2022, Kalisha Izer reports directly to the Head Cook under the general guidance of the Operations Manager. She assists the Head Cook and Assistant Cook with a variety of kitchen duties.

Operations Manager

The Board's Operations & Personnel Director supervises the employees and the delivery volunteers.

Board of Directors

The directors of the corporation collectively are responsible for seeing that the organization's mission — "To effectively and efficiently deliver hot, nutritious meals to the homebound needy of the greater Chambersburg area" — is carried out. All directors serve without compensation of any form. Some of the directors serve as officers of the corporation, and each director is involved as the chairman or a member of one or more of the Board's committees.
