Since 1996, Meals On Wheels Delaware events have raised more than $5 million for home-delivered meals programs in Delaware. Last year, hundreds of volunteers across the state of Delaware delivered over 690,000 hot, nutritious meals - and as many warm smiles - to over 4,400 homebound seniors. We are a non-profit organization focused on ensuring that every senior in Delaware who requests help with a home-delivered meal is able to receive the nutritional support they need when they need it. We strive every day to raise funds and awareness to support the local Meals On Wheels programs that are delivering a difference to our homebound neighbors. Many Meals on Wheels recipients are struggling to balance their needs on a fixed income, and are unable to shop or safely prepare a hot meal for themselves. Overwhelmingly, seniors who receive meals at home say a daily meal makes them healthier, feel secure, and remain comfortable at home. A nutritious meal, friendly volunteer visit, and safety check help seniors cope with hunger, isolation, and loss of independence.
