Mission Statement
Meals on Wheels of West Los Angeles is a non-profit, volunteer community service organization that has been providing nutritious meals and friendship to individuals who are unable to plan, shop, or prepare meals for themselves due to illness, disability, or advanced age since 1976.
About This Cause
Monday through Friday, our volunteers deliver a hot midday meal and a cold supper to elderly and disabled individuals living in the west LA area. We deliver over 87,000 meals a year. Our volunteers deliver meals daily to Veterans, elderly, Isolating immunocompromised, and disabled individuals. They serve as a critical link between that person and their family and loved ones. By giving their time as well as the use of their vehicles, our volunteers help ease some of the loneliness or isolation a client may feel. If these meals were not delivered, many of our clients would not be able to remain in their homes, and hospitalization rates would rise. Our clients are asked to donate $8.00 a day for the two meals. This fee only partially covers our costs, however, no one is turned away because of an inability to pay. More then 86% of the individuals we deliver to, do not pay the full amount. We have no government funding and rely on contributions from the community.
