Your support fuels meaningful change.

Government funding is not enough to meet the growing demand for Meals on Wheels services, and only 1% of philanthropic donations support senior causes. As a result, too many of our aging neighbors are waiting for the help they need. We’re working to change that. Your generosity fuels our efforts to get Meals on Wheels to every senior who needs it. Learn how your donation is part of a proven, effective solution trusted by communities across the country.
