About the Business

In 1974, Rochelle Berger, founder and former CEO of the Agency, recognized the need for home delivered meals in Rockland County. With a small grant from the National Council of Jewish Women, Mrs. Berger set the wheels in motion by recruiting and organizing a consortium of volunteers who, in that first year, delivered nearly 10,000 meals.
As a not-for-profit agency with an annual budget of over $3 million, Meals on Wheels now has a staff of more than 80 employees, over 500 volunteers, and has delivered more than 9 million meals since its inception. It administers five senior centers, an adult day care center, central commissary, computer learning lab, and an all-senior theatrical troupe known as The Music Makers. The Agency has also established a Pet Pantry for seniors who cannot afford to feed their beloved pets.

Established in 1974.
