Your Generosity Helps End the Wait™ for Seniors
Too many older adults are still waiting for the meals and support they need. The longer they wait, the more they are at risk for malnutrition, hospitalization and becoming disconnected from their communities.
Your generosity helps End the Wait™ by reaching more seniors with nutritious meals, safety checks, and moments of connection.
- Right now, over 46,000 seniors are known to be on waitlists for Meals on Wheels across America.
- More than 13 million more are food-insecure.
- Only 1% if philanthropic giving goes to aging causes. That’s why every dollar helps.

I was inspired to give because I have been very blessed and felt compelled to give back. I have known about Meals on Wheels for many years, and now that I’m older myself, I am more keenly aware of seniors’ needs and the difficulties they may have in getting their needs met. Your organization helps them meet their most basic need — food. I wanted to be a part of your team as a result.Doug
