Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver 1 million nutritious meals to seniors every day. Volunteers also provide safety checks and friendly visits – helping seniors to stay healthy and in their own homes.
With 1 in 6 seniors already facing the threat of hunger and the senior population projected to double by 2050, Meals on Wheels needs dedicated volunteers now more than ever. Donate your lunch break to volunteer with Meals on Wheels and start making a difference in your local community.
2.5 million seniors aren't getting the meals they need. Seniors like our Memaw, Gramps, Abuelo and Nana.
Senior isolation can be dangerous. Connection can be lifesaving.
Every Meals on Wheels delivery is an opportunity to check in, share a smile and remind an older adult that they haven’t been forgotten.
The wait is growing. Funding isn't.
Right now, thousands of older adults are waiting for Meals on Wheels, while the network faces a growing funding crisis. Congress must act now. Join us in urging Congress to protect and increase funding for Meals on Wheels
For every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased from mid November, through early January, Subaru will donate a minimum of $300 to the purchaser’s choice of a participating charity, one of which is Meals on Wheels.
At the time of 2025’s promotion, Share the Love had helped deliver nearly 5 million meals to America’s seniors.
Meals on Wheels America, along with ASPCA, are the only national partners that have participated in Subaru’s Share the Love Event since its inception in 2005. Subaru and its retailers support Meals on Wheels because
it’s part of their commitment—to leaving the world a better place than they found it through the core values of trust and love.
Through Meals on Wheels America and Subaru, Bond County Senior Citizens Center, Inc. has received 18 grants (as of 2025).
These grants help fund our local Meals on Wheels program. If you are considering a new vehicle, please consider Subaru and support the charities!
