Teaming Up with Erie County
We have teamed up with Erie County & Meals On Wheels to provide a nutritional meal weekdays at 12:00 noon for a nominal, voluntary contribution of $3.00.
Meals at Two Locations
The meals are served at our main center on Ensminger Road and at the Mang Community Center on Wilber Avenue. Not only do they provide good nutrition, but they also give everyone an opportunity to meet new friends. To reserve your spot for the meal, stop by either location or call:
