Mission Statement
Meals on Wheels America is the oldest and largest national organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based senior nutrition programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior hunger and isolation. This network exists in virtually every community in America and, along with more than two million volunteers, delivers the nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks that enable America’s seniors to live nourished lives with independence and dignity. By providing funding, leadership, research, education and advocacy support, Meals on Wheels America empowers its local member programs to strengthen their communities, one senior at a time.
About This Cause
The Meals On Wheels Association of America is the only national organization and network dedicated solely to ending senior hunger and isolation in America. We are the oldest and largest organization composed of and representing local, community-based Senior Nutrition Programs in all 50 U.S. states, as well as the U.S. Territories. More than 5,000 local community Meals on Wheels programs leverage a dedicated army of two million volunteers who day-in and day-out create an efficient and caring way to help America’s seniors stay independent, healthy and able to live in their own homes. In doing so, over one million meals are served to our nation’s seniors each day. However, seniors represent a dramatically growing segment of the hunger crisis in America. There are 8.8 million hungry seniors today and by 2050 this number will be nearly equal to the populations of our country’s four largest cities combined. Meals on Wheels, operating in nearly every city, town and community across America, is an effective solution to the three biggest threats to our seniors: inadequate nutrition, isolation and safety. Delivering much more than a meal, we provide the safety check, the warm smile and friendly conversation that enable millions of seniors to live more nourished lives at home. Not only is Meals on Wheels the most effective and caring way to support seniors needing extra help, but it saves us all billions of dollars in Medicaid, health and long-term care expenses. In fact, for every $1 invested in Meals on Wheels, we save up to $50 in Medicaid spending. Our goal is to support the whole person, ensuring that every senior in America has a chance to live a fully nourished life, with independence and dignity, for as long as they are able. Together, we can deliver.
