Meals on Wheels Introduces New Leadership

In 2026, Meals on Wheels of NEPA restructured and brought new talent to their leadership team. Since 2023, Meals on Wheels’ Executive Director has been Lindsey Skripka. Skripka has brought the organization to new heights, expanding and creating new programs, growing the staff, and leading the organization in a move to a new building. Under Skripka’s leadership, the organization currently serves approximately 2,000 older adults, individuals with disabilities and other vulnerable populations a year.

In January, Meals on Wheels hired Bella Ceccoli as their Director of Development. Ceccoli brings an extensive fundraising and grant writing background to the organization, having worked in the nonprofit sector for over a decade. Ceccoli has organized and executed fundraising events and campaigns for several local nonprofits, raising much needed operational funding. “Bella brings a proven track record of building meaningful relationships and securing critical resources for nonprofits. Her leadership in development will allow us to grow sustainably and ensure we can meet the increasing demand for our services across NEPA,” says Skripka. 

Meals on Wheels has also promoted two existing employees. Nicole Fetch is now the Director of Operations, coordinating meal preparations, deliveries, and other daily activities. Fetch has been with the organization for 7 years and brings an extensive background in social work. Meals on Wheels has also promoted previous Program Manager Kay Cullen to the position of Director of Programs. Cullen has been with the organization for 3 years, managing and coordinating our program activities. This promotion has allowed Cullen to take the lead on expanding and administering these programs. 

Meals on Wheels is thrilled to introduce the new, all-women leadership team. The organization is looking to expand its reach and the number of meals it delivers in 2026. By the end of April, the organization will be fully operational in their new building on Cherry Street in Scranton. With the new building, Meals on Wheels will be able to increase its production by 25%, with no new input needed. More information regarding an open house and opportunities to meet the new leadership team will be announced shortly. 

“This moment marks a meaningful and historic milestone for Meals on Wheels of NEPA. For the first time, our organization is led by an all-women leadership team—an extraordinary group whose expertise, vision, and dedication reflect both the strength of our community and the future of our work. Together, we are not only honoring our legacy, but shaping a more innovative, inclusive, and impactful path forward for those we serve.”
