Wheeled Meals, Inc. (Bowling Green, Ohio) records

The Wheeled Meals collection gives researchers and local historians a comprehensive overview of the history, development and day to day running of the organization. The collection includes board meeting minutes, subscriber lists and route information, daily logs and records, financial records, annual reports, newspaper clippings as well as insurance and public relations files. A detailed history of the organization is also included.

Of particular note are records that reveal a case of embezzlement in the early years of the organization’s operation (1974). These records also show how the incident was dealt with. While the collection is arranged chronologically, it should be noted that there are substantive gaps in the material.
