The Meals on Wheels program at Missoula Aging Services  was awarded $15,508 from a Wal-Mart Foundation grant to the Meals on Wheels Association of America. Development officer at M-A-S Keri McWilliams says the money is specifically targeted for equipment upgrades.

McWilliams Says this much needed grant money means a brighter future for local efforts to feed home-bound seniors.  The M-A-S serves  nearly 83,000 meals each year with over 500 clients benefiting from the program.
