HELP MEALS ON WHEELS AMERICA NOURISH COMMUNITIES

United by a shared belief in the power of food to nourish communities across the United States, Freshly and Nestlé have joined forces to donate $500,000 to Meals on Wheels America. We know these are trying times for many people, but if you have the means, we are asking you to join us in support of this vital work.

Vulnerable seniors are at the greatest risk amid COVID-19. Local Meals on Wheels programs are on the front lines every day, focused on doing all they can to keep older Americans safe and nourished in communities across the country. The costs and efforts needed to protect seniors from COVID-19 require additional emergency funds, and that is why we are asking federal lawmakers, corporations, foundations and the general public to remember these vulnerable seniors in our national response.

Give to the Meals on Wheels COVID-19 Response Fund to help ensure local communities have what they need to continue to deliver a vital lifeline to our most at-risk Americans. Donated funds will replenish food supplies, subsidize additional transportation and personnel costs, enable tech-based efforts to check in on isolated seniors and support timely distribution of science-based information needed to ensure safe care for all.

SENIORS NATIONWIDE NEED YOU

Hands too arthritic to open a jar or prepare a meal. The television the only companion in an empty home. The fear of falling and no one coming to help.

Nearly 9.5 million seniors in America are threatened by hunger, and millions more live in isolation. Meals on Wheels provides 2.4 million seniors with the nutrition and companionship they need to age without fear of hunger and isolation, but we need your help to reach more in need.

JOIN US IN SUPPORT OF MEALS ON WHEELS SO THAT VULNERABLE SENIORS DON'T HAVE TO FACE HUNGER AND ISOLATION ALONE.
