New Meals on Wheels facility proposal going before Seaside planning commission

SEASIDE, Calif. (KION-TV) - Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula is hoping to open a new facility in Seaside.

The city's planning commission is set to review the proposal tonight.

A city report states that the organization is eyeing the former site of Monterey Peninsula Power Sports, at 1020 Auto Center Parkway.  

The report also shows that the proposed facility is designed as a production kitchen and a meal delivery hub.

It would also serve as the central kitchen for the organization's home-delivered meal program.

Meals on Wheels says it has served nearly 120,000 meals to Seaside residents this fiscal year.

That includes about 10,000 home deliveries and nearly 1,300 in-person meals at the Oldemeyer Center in May.
