Home Delivered Meals

Meals on Wheels provides healthy nutritious meals, friendly visits, wellness checks, nutrition education, and caregiver support ensuring the safety of our seniors. Meals on Wheels helps seniors maintain health, independence and dignity.

Population(s) Served
Seniors
Adults

Meals on Wheels wants to ensure that caregivers have the most up-to-date information, education, and resources. We realize the challenges in caring for an elderly or disabled loved one. We offer useful information on aging, mental challenges such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, housing options, legal issues, in-home services, end-of-life issues, palliative care and more.

Population(s) Served
Caregivers
Adults
Seniors

Once a month, volunteers deliver donated dog and cat food to Meals on Wheels' recipients in their community. AniMeals is important as it:
1. Prevents clients with limited resources from sharing their home-delivered meals with their pets.
2. Provides basic preventative vet care - vaccinations, spaying/neutering and flea treatment.
3. Enables individuals to keep their companion animals, providing a special quality to their lives.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Meals on Wheels’ services are targeted toward elderly and disabled persons, focusing on those who are homebound, older in age, low income, isolated, frail, or incapacitated. Meals on Wheels also acts as a resource for families caring for needy elderly and disabled loved ones.

Outreach efforts target older adults who live in rural areas, have greatest economic need, have greatest social need, have severe disabilities, have limited English proficiency, have Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders, and are at risk of institutional placement.

We utilize more than 600 local volunteers to deliver the meals directly to the clients' homes. Financial resources come from a variety of funding sources such as individual donors, businesses, civic clubs and churches, foundations, United Way funding, Golf Benefit, and limited federal and state grants.

Meals on Wheels North Central Texas has been part of the community fabric since 1976. We have developed a “Meals on Wheels" family that is based upon philanthropy, volunteerism, and service. We continue to leverage numerous funding streams to serve as many needy individuals as possible.

Now delivering 90+ home-delivered meal routes throughout five counties. Additional services include: AniMeals for our clients' four-legged family members, nutritional supplements at cost and client support. We are helping nourish the body and spirit of our homebound neighbors.
