About Meals on Wheels
Since its first delivery in 1954, Meals on Wheels has been driven by one simple goal: to improve the health and well-being of our senior neighbors. What began as a compassionate idea has grown into one of America’s largest and most impactful social movements. With a focus on nutrition and social connection, we’re committed to ensuring that every senior who needs Meals on Wheels has access to it.
As a national leadership organization, Meals on Wheels America is working to End the Wait™ for seniors. For more than 50 years, Meals on Wheels has remained the most effective solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Now, working with our network, Meals on Wheels America has a bigger, bolder plan to serve more seniors — and serve them better.
Our mission is to empower local community programs to improve the health and quality of life of the seniors they serve so that no one is left hungry or isolated.
