All proceeds directly support our mission-driven programs, which deliver nourishment, connection, and life-enhancing services to older adults and individuals with disabilities across Northeastern Pennsylvania.

This year, we are proud to present our Annual Founder’s Award for Philanthropy to John Basalyga, President of @JBAS Realty and The Basalyga Group.

A visionary developer and dedicated philanthropist, John has transformed countless properties into vibrant spaces that fuel community growth. From revitalizing downtown Scranton and the Marketplace at Steamtown, to creating award-winning restaurants, apartments, and senior care centers, his work embodies a deep commitment to the people and future of NEPA. His support of Meals on Wheels—including the development of our new facility—reflects his belief in building not just spaces, but strong, supportive communities.

Help us celebrate a man whose passion and generosity are reshaping the region—while raising vital funds for those who depend on us. Add a congratulatory message for John to our event program by emailing mealsonwheels@mownepa.org.
