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!

Happy Grandparents Day! 👵👴❤️
There’s no better way to celebrate Grandparents Day than highlighting the special bond shared across generations—especially when it involves giving back to our community together! 🚗🥗
We love seeing grandchildren join their grandparents on the route to deliver hot, nutritious meals and warm smiles. Volunteering with Meals on Wheels isn't just about giving back it's about spending quality time together, creating lasting memories, and passing down the value of compassion and service.
To all the wonderful grandparents leading by example and the incredible grandkids stepping up alongside them Thank you for making a difference together! 👏🌟

Meals on Wheels runs on Amazing volunteers. Often the volunteer say that delivering the meals is a highlight in their day. As a volunteer, you perform a safety check with each meal delivery, and often provide the only regular social contact for many of our participants.
