A $1.5 million gift from philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott enabled Meals on Wheels Texoma to finish its capital campaign to fund a state-of-the-art central kitchen at its main office at North Texas Regional Airport – Perrin Field campus.
Scott picked 384 nonprofit organizations to share in the more than $4.1 billion she was donating, Meals on Wheels Texoma said on its Facebook page. The Meals on Wheels kitchen enables the organization to meet food production capacity needs now and in the future.
“There are no words to express our profound gratitude for this incredible gift,” CEO Greg Pittman said. “After a very difficult year, there is just something incredibly validating about a gift of this magnitude and what it means to the entire Meals on Wheels Texoma organization. To be one of 384 organizations chosen by Ms. Scott and her team, well, it really is a Christmas miracle.”
Meals on Wheels Texoma serves Cooke, Fannin and Grayson counties in North Central Texas by providing nutrition and other services, supporting seniors and disabled persons.
