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're grateful for a community that shows up. 💚
This incredible $15,000 gift is more than a donation—it’s meals delivered, wellness checks made, and neighbors reminded they are not alone.
To everyone supporting Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake: thank you for believing in this work and the people we serve every day.
And there’s still time to make your impact go even further. Our match campaign is live through May 31, meaning every gift helps provide even more meals, care, and connection for homebound and senior neighbors.

Today was an incredible day of community in action. 🩵❤️
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Keller Williams Realty for delivering ALL 18 Meals on Wheels Chesapeake routes in Chesapeake and Berkley during their annual Renew, Energize, and Donate Day!
40 enthusiastic volunteers came together to deliver nearly 300 nutritious meals, along with smiles, conversation, and safety checks to 147 homebound neighbors.
This work is about so much more than a meal. It is about showing up for one another and reminding older adults that they are seen, valued, and cared for. Thank you, Keller Williams, for sharing your time, energy, and compassion with our community today. We could not do this work without community partners like you!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
Nurses do so much more than provide medical care. 💚
They advocate. They comfort. They educate. They notice when someone needs extra support—and they help make sure no one falls through the cracks.
This International Nurses Day, we’re honoring the nurses at Chesapeake Regional Healthcare and across our community who help care for many of the seniors we serve every day.
Their partnership with hospital social workers and community organizations, like Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake, helps ensure that care continues long after a patient leaves the hospital.
We’re grateful for all you do. 💚
