    RALLYING A NATION

    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.

    THE POWER OF A KNOCK TRANSFORMS LIVES.

    CALL ON CONGRESS TO #SAVELUNCH

    With the annual appropriations process underway, it is essential to urge Congress to protect and increase funding for Meals on Wheels programs nationwide. Simply maintaining current funding levels isn’t an acceptable outcome and in fact would represent a funding cut at a time when more investments are desperately needed. Seniors are depending on us to speak out and demand action – email your Senators and Representative today!
      

    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.
