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.
We show up for one another. That’s the promise. 🩵🧡❤️
For Peggy, 83, and her dog Chester, that promise is delivered with a simple knock on the door.
“It was easier to skip a meal than to decide what to make. Now I know I’m having balanced meals…My dog, Chester, and I greet every volunteer like family.”
Through Meals on Wheels, neighbors like Peggy receive more than food—they receive connection, dignity, and the reassurance that they are not alone.
Right now, that care is more important than ever.
Today, your gift will be matched 2X—doubling the meals, safety checks, and moments of connection for neighbors like Peggy.
Will you show up?

🍽️ This Week’s Menu is Here!
Every meal delivered is a reminder that we show up for one another—one visit, one conversation, one neighbor at a time.
With the Give Local 757 match, you can help make meals like these possible for even more neighbors.

Because of this community, we’re already 22% of the way toward our $60,000 goal. 🩵🧡❤️
Right now, your support goes even further. Through Tuesday, May 5, every gift is matched—helping provide twice the meals, twice the safety checks, and twice the connection for homebound and senior neighbors in our community.
For many, these visits are more than a meal—they’re a lifeline.
If you’ve been thinking about giving, this is the moment to make twice the impact.
