#RESPECTYOURELDERS

TOGETHER, WE'LL BUILD EMPATHY AND COMPASSION IN SUPPORT OF AMERICA'S SENIORS.

As a nation, we've allowed our seniors to fall into the shadows. Left behind, unseen, marginalized and overlooked. Families are living farther away. Neighbors aren't staying connected. Until now.

AGING CAN BE SO LONELY.

Millions of seniors are homebound. Nearly a third of those who live alone spend almost all of their time by themselves. For many, the Meals on Wheels volunteer is the only human contact they have all day.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO RALLY A NATION.

That’s why Meals on Wheels America launched the #RespectYourElders campaign! The aim is to garner support for America’s aging population. Everyday people and celebrities alike will honor the seniors in their life and post on social media using #RespectYourElders.

EVERY ACTION HELPS.

Your support for Meals on Wheels today nourishes a lonely senior's body and soul tomorrow. Post on social media. Do a random act of kindness. Record a video. Every action will help!
