What we do for Seniors
Families and the community benefit when seniors are able to stay safely in their own homes.
Why our mission matters

The average monthly mortgage is under $1,000. The average monthly cost to stay in a nursing home is $7,500.
How we improve the health and safety of seniors

Meals on Wheels Helps me to Stay Independent
"I am unable to cook meals on my own. I am in a wheelchair. Meals on Wheels helps me to be able to stay independent in my home. I look forward to seeing them and would miss them if Meals on Wheels did not come."
