Mission Statement
Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg addresses the hunger, isolation and unique needs of the homebound. Driven by volunteers who embody compassionate care, Meals on Wheels strengthens our community by delivering hot, nutritious meals, friendly visits, and safety checks - empowering people to live valued, independent lives at home.
About This Cause
Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg is designed to assist the homebound of all ages and incomes in our community by providing a balanced, nutritious, hot lunch five days each week in Lynchburg and the surround Amherst, Bedford and Campbell counties. Over 750 volunteers deliver on 41 routes. Because we do not rely on state or federal funding for our meals, we are not bound by much of the bureaucracy that accompanies those monies. If they meet our other criteria, we serve any adult, regardless of age or income for either an extended or short period of time. Our program serves people who need prepared meals due to permanent or temporary disabilities. In addition, the Meals on Wheels delivery also provides a reassuring “check-in” to those who live alone. Any unanswered delivery is reported and investigated. Changes in a client’s health or needs are followed up on by Meals on Wheels staff. If appropriate, referrals to family, physician, or community service organizations are made.
