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!

Meet Our Spring Intern!
We’re excited to welcome Jenna Bedford to the Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake team this spring! Jenna is in her final semester at Old Dominion University, pursuing her Master’s in Public Health with a concentration in Health Promotion.
Jenna brings a strong passion for serving our community, and we’re thrilled to have her join us as we continue advancing our mission together.
💬 Help us give Jenna a warm welcome! Drop a comment below to share a welcome message, words of encouragement, or advice you’d give to an intern starting their journey.
Today, two of our incredible volunteers from Saint Thomas Church braved the cold to deliver nutritious meals to neighbors who rely on them. Because of volunteers like them, our community stays nourished, connected, and cared for—no matter the weather. ❄️
Thank you for showing up and making a real difference today. We couldn’t do this work without you. 💚
