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!

Meals On Wheels of Chesapeake Inc.
Monday through Friday, we deliver nourishment, connection, & safety checks to homebound neighbors.
As #NationalVolunteerMonth comes to a close, we’re celebrating the people who make care possible every day.
More than 500 volunteers gave over 12,000 hours this year—delivering meals, providing safety checks, and building meaningful connections with homebound neighbors.
But the real impact goes beyond numbers. Volunteers are often the only people someone sees all day—and sometimes, the reason a neighbor gets help when something isn’t right.
This is what care looks like in action. 💚

🩵🧡❤️ 2X the meals. 2X the care. 🩵🧡❤️
Now through May 5, your gift during our Give Local 757 campaign will be doubled—helping more homebound seniors and neighbors receive nourishing meals, friendly visits, and the support they deserve.
Because everyone in our community deserves to feel seen, cared for, and connected.
For many, a meal delivery is more than food—it’s a moment of dignity, independence, and human connection.

Help us make a neighbor’s birthday a little brighter 🎉
For many of the neighbors we serve, birthdays can feel like just another day. But with a small gesture, we can turn it into something special—something that reminds them they’re seen, valued, and celebrated.
We’ve put together an Amazon Wish List filled with simple gifts to help us celebrate. Every item makes a difference.
