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!

🍁 Celebrating Our October Birthdays — And We Need Your Help! 🎁
For many of our Meals on Wheels recipients, the dedicated volunteer who delivers their warm meal is the only person they will see or speak to all day. On their birthday, that friendly knock at the door means the world.
We want to make sure every recipient feels remembered, valued, and celebrated on their special day with a small birthday treat and you can help make that happen!
✨ How You Can Help:
We’ve put together a special Amazon Wishlist filled with simple birthday treats, cozy items, and gift ideas for our wonderful seniors. Choosing even one small item off the list helps us bring a smile to someone who might otherwise spend their birthday alone.
Shop our Amazon Wishlist here:
www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3D6DNAAM07XBI?ref=gr_search_page_result
Every item purchased ships directly to us and goes right into the hands of a local recipient on their birthday.
Thank you for being part of our Meals on Wheels family and helping us deliver more than just a meal thank you for delivering joy! 🍂🎂

Behind every meal we deliver is a story.
For Joyce, Meals on Wheels is a lifeline: "Having Meals on Wheels helps me to survive because I don't have enough money to last until the end of the month."
For Mr. Duncan, it’s essential strength: "It gives me the energy and power to get through the day."
And for Gary, it’s a daily moment of joy: "The meals have been delicious and I appreciate you taking the time to prepare them and deliver them."
A warm meal isn't just nutrition — it’s relief, energy, and a friendly reminder that our neighbors aren't forgotten.
