Bridgeville meals on wheels faces steep rent hike, urges support

Southwest Meals on Wheels, a small non-profit organization in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, is facing a daunting challenge as its landlord, Silver Tree Residential, plans to increase rent by 50% in July. The current rent of $500 per month will jump to $750, and the non-profit will also be responsible for paying its own utilities, which could add an additional $1,100 to $2,000 to its monthly expenses.

Non-profit relies on donations, community support

Southwest Meals on Wheels does not receive any government funding, relying heavily on donations and community support to keep its vital services running. The organization delivers hot meals to over 85 seniors and individuals in need each week, ensuring they have access to a nutritious meal and human interaction.
