Support Meals on Wheels in Missouri

No Senior Should Go Hungry:

Help Save Missouri’s Meals on Wheels Programs

Across Missouri, thousands of homebound seniors rely on Meals on Wheels for their only hot, nutritious meal of the day. For many, it’s also their only point of human contact. But today, these lifeline programs are in crisis. Due to recent federal cuts, local Meals on Wheels organizations are being forced to scale back services, cut routes, and turn away clients.

Meals Are More Than Just Food

Meals on Wheels is not just about nourishment—it’s about connection, independence, and health. A daily meal delivery often comes with a wellness check, a few kind words, and the reassurance that someone cares. These visits help seniors remain safely in their homes and reduce the risk of hospitalizations, malnutrition, and social isolation.

💛 How You Can Help

Missouri’s seniors need you. Here’s how you can take action:

• Donate to your local Meals on Wheels program. Every dollar helps provide food, fuel delivery vans, and keep the lights on.
• Volunteer to deliver meals or assist with fundraising. Just an hour a week can make a life-changing difference for someone in your community.
• Advocate by contacting your local, state, and federal representatives. Urge them to restore and increase funding for senior nutrition programs like Meals on Wheels
