Meals On Wheels
Taking care of those who once took care of us
What We Do
We deliver more than just a green bean casserole and mashed potatoes... We deliver compassion and friendship for all elderly.
Darcy
Darcy's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer and could no longer remember how to cook. Being apart of our MOWA family allowed Darcy's mom to stay home longer while still receiving meals Monday through Friday, which has tremendously impacted Darcy's family.
Ms. Mack
Ms. Mack is an awesome member of our family who after a hip replacement surgery, has had difficulty preparing meals for herself and often lacks the funds to buy food. The nutritious meals isn't all she gratefully relies on now, but the love of our MOWA volunteers. "Even when I'm down I can still smile, because someone is smiling with me."
Harrison
At any age, volunteering to serve the elder community is fun! Harrison has so much fun getting to talk to everyone and bring meals to those who need help. Harrison agrees that MOWA impacted the community and "has taught him so much about caring for others."
