Meals on Wheels South Florida Celebrates Expansion with New Distribution Warehouse and Cleveland Clinic Florida Check Presentation
​
Meals on Wheels South Florida marked a major milestone on June 24, 2026, with a ribbon‑cutting ceremony and a check presentation from Cleveland Clinic Florida at the organization’s second location, a new distribution warehouse in Plantation. The new facility will expand the organization’s footprint and strengthen its ability to deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits, and wellness checks to older adults across the region.

The event featured remarks from Meals on Wheels South Florida leadership, board representatives, and City of Plantation Mayor Nick Sortal, followed by a ceremonial check presentation and a facility tour. The warehouse — located at 6741 W. Sunrise Blvd, Bay A‑6, Plantation, FL 33313 — includes centralized meal storage, expanded office space, a dedicated volunteer training area, and a new walk‑in freezer funded by Cleveland Clinic Florida to significantly increase storage capacity and streamline distribution. This five-year commitment of $150,000 per year will provide vital resources to further Meals on Wheels South Florida’s mission of delivering nutritious meals and friendly visits to homebound seniors in need throughout Broward County.
​
As the senior population continues to grow, this expanded infrastructure positions Meals on Wheels South Florida to scale operations, improve logistics, and continue delivering life‑sustaining services with compassion, dignity, and efficiency. Photo opportunities at the event included the ribbon‑cutting, leadership remarks, the check presentation, and the facility tour. A full photo album and local media coverage were captured during the event and are available upon request.

We provide more than a meal to our senior neighbors, we provide:
Nutritious Meals
Thanks to the support of generous grants and donors, we offer healthy meals and nutrition education to seniors in Broward County, empowering them to age with dignity in their own homes.
Safety Checks
Often, a Meals on Wheels volunteer may be the only individual a senior interacts with during the week. These volunteers not only deliver meals but also conduct safety checks and communicate any important safety information back to the Meals on Wheels office.
Friendly Visits
Volunteers provide more than just a meal—they bring friendship, companionship, and cherished memories for both our seniors and volunteers. The unique bond they create is treasured gift.
