About us

For over 50 years, North Area Meals on Wheels (NAMOW) has nourished the community. We have grown from a few individuals cooking and delivering to now 300+ volunteers and staff members serving thousands of meals each week. 

We help seniors and individuals with disabilities across Central New York stay independent in their homes, offering services to all income levels, through short- or long-term assistance.
