How We Make a Difference
We Deliver Joy
You can hear it in Ada’s voice: Meals on Wheels delivers joy to seniors who were hungry and isolated before joining our community. During this time of rising senior need, donate today to improve quality of life for disabled seniors who cannot leave their homes.
Your support
- provides meals and safety checks, as well as social programming like pet care, birthday gifts, and hospital visits
- increases food-security, nutrition, and social well-being
- lowers isolation, hunger, hospitalization, and the risk of falling
- allows seniors like Ada to age in place affordably, with dignity and independence
HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We Deliver More Than Meals
Since 1977, Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake (MOWC) has provided nutritious home-delivered meals, safety checks, social connection, and care coordination for older and disabled homebound residents who live alone, cannot grocery shop or cook healthy meals, and have no assistance with meal prep.
Success Stories
Your being here to support me (I live alone) has greatly enhanced my confidence that I am not alone, and were I to need outside help, MOW staff would be there! Seriously! I do not naturally trust many folks, and I do not ask for anything. That said, you all have supported me during my time down to an extent far greater than what I signed on for…easily as healing and welcome as the food.
The volunteers are great and so cheerful. Having new faces is a blessing and the cards, candy, gifts are really nice. Thank you for working to provide seniors with food because some would go hungry without it!
Meals on Wheels has helped regulate my diet and has helped with medical conditions. I am very thankful for ALL they do! All of the volunteers are always a delight to see and talk to! I am very thankful for all the staff at Meals on Wheels. Thank you so much!

Monday through Friday, we deliver nourishment, connection, & safety checks to homebound neighbors.
Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake is more than a meal. Every delivery includes a safety check for each participant. It starts with a knock at the door. If there's no answer within a reasonable time, our volunteer calls the office, and we then contact the participant's emergency point of contact. These safety checks are vital to enabling our seniors the ability to age in place safely and give their family and friends the added peace of mind knowing each day their loved one is being checked in on. 💛
We are more than a meal 💛🩵🧡💚

✨ It's beginning to be the most wonderful time of the year! As families and friends travel to be together during the holidays, please remember the most vulnerable in our community—our homebound seniors—many of whom will be eating alone this season.
Starting next week, we will highlight ways you can join us in pouring love into the homes of our seniors. 💛 Let's make sure no one is forgotten this holiday season.

Monthly Menu Sponsor Spotlight 🌟 We're thrilled to announce a generous donation of $25,000 from Meals on Wheels America! This incredible support is helping us transition to recyclable Oliver trays, making it safer and more convenient for our participants to reheat their meals. This donation also ensures that isolated seniors who would otherwise go hungry receive nutritious meals.
Thank you, Meals on Wheels America, for your commitment to sustainability and supporting our seniors! 💚
