    POWER OF A KNOCK™: TRANSFORMING LIVES

    WHAT IS THE POWER OF A KNOCK?

    A knock at the door might not seem like a big deal to many of us. But, to a homebound senior, it could signal the arrival of the only person they might see all day or all week long. It brings hope. It brings health. It brings the nutrition and care that will completely make their day. A knock from Meals on Wheels can even save lives.

    “When I hear the knock, it’s just a good feeling. To feed the hungry is a noble adventure beyond measure. It’s really a blessing to have a hot meal delivered to your door.”

    NEW STUDY: EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF MEALS ON WHEELS

    Each day we hear anecdotes of how Meals on Wheels has touched people’s lives. And, for every positive story there’s an opportunity to apply real numbers to the impact Meals on Wheels has on those who benefit from services. In The Case for Meals on Wheels: An Evidence-Based Solution to Senior Hunger and Isolation, we looked at 38 studies conducted between 1996 and 2023, and from them we can draw strong associations between receiving Meals on Wheels and experiencing positive health and well-being outcomes.
