Mission Statement
Every night, 20 million people go to bed hungry—many of them seniors, individuals with disabilities, and people facing financial hardship. At Meals on Wheels, we believe that food is more than just nourishment; it is dignity, independence, and human connection. Every year, with the support of our dedicated volunteers and corporate partners, we deliver over 37 million meals to those in need, ensuring that no one is left behind. But we do more than deliver meals—we provide safety checks, friendly visits, and a sense of belonging to people who might otherwise be alone. Hunger and isolation are growing issues, but together, we can make a difference. Through partnerships with businesses, community groups, and caring individuals, we are working to close the meal gap and bring hope to those who need it most. By joining our mission, you help us expand our reach, serve more meals, and build stronger, healthier communities. Whether through donations, employee volunteer programs, or corporate sponsorships, your support fuels the impact we make every day. Let’s work together to ensure that everyone, regardless of age or circumstance, has access to the nourishment, support, and companionship they deserve.
