In this powerful presentation, we dove deep into current trends, challenges, and opportunities in the foodservice industry. As the landscape shifts in the wake of recent global events, it's crucial for us to stay informed and adapt to better serve our seniors and vulnerable communities. Unfortunately, not all Meals on Wheels organizations are created equal. Some face more struggles, while others celebrate more successes. But regardless of the challenges, our missions remain the same: to serve our communities with dedication, compassion, and impact. #MOWMP #MealsOnWheels #MOWAConference #MealsOnWheels50 #StrongerTogether #CommunityFirst #FoodServiceInnovation #MOWA50

Inspiring keynote by on 'Winning the Competition for Connection' at the #MOWA50 @mealsonwheelsamerica Conference @nathanchappell discussed connection is the currency of the attention economy. With fewer American households giving charitably each year and an increased demand for philanthropic dollars, the modern nonprofit must understand the forces at play and learn how to win the competition for connection. We're learning strategies and perspectives to strengthen our bonds with the Monterey Peninsula community and serve our seniors even better. #NonprofitGrowth #CommunityConnection #SeniorCare #MontereyCounty
