Give Hope This Giving Tuesday
Every year, Meals on Wheels serves over 2 million seniors, but that’s only a fraction of those waiting for help. Millions more are facing hunger, isolation and uncertainty about their next meal. This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can go twice as far to help change that. With only 1% of all philanthropic donations going to aging causes, your support today helps us ensure America’s older neighbors aren’t left waiting for something as basic as balanced nutrition and human connection.
The clock is ticking! By giving before midnight on Giving Tuesday, December 2, your donation will be doubled by Consumer Cellular to help ensure no senior is left behind, hungry and alone for the holidays.
Your Gift Can Do More
It Goes Twice as Far to Fight Hunger
13 million seniors are food insecure. Your support empowers local providers to serve meals to more seniors and reduce growing waitlists. By helping the Meals on Wheels network advocate for funding, recruit volunteers and build capacity, your gift helps ensure no senior has to wait for the basic nutrition they need.
It Goes Twice as Far to Relieve Loneliness
More than half of seniors say they feel lonely. For many homebound seniors, their Meals on Wheels volunteer could be the only person they see all week. When you give to Meals on Wheels America, you help fuel independence, hope and human connection for seniors struggling with loneliness nationwide.
It Goes Twice as Far to Keep Seniors Safe at Home
1 in 2 older adults living alone can’t afford basic needs, and as heating costs rise during the winter, many seniors might have to choose between paying for food or their bills – an impossible choice no one should have to make. Your gift helps them age with dignity in the place they love most — their own home.
