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!

Help us make a neighbor’s birthday a little brighter 🎉
For many of the neighbors we serve, birthdays can feel like just another day. But with a small gesture, we can turn it into something special—something that reminds them they’re seen, valued, and celebrated.
We’ve put together an Amazon Wish List filled with simple gifts to help us celebrate. Every item makes a difference.

During #NationalVolunteerWeek, we’re especially grateful for the young volunteers who show up with generosity well beyond their years.
A heartfelt thank you to Girl Scout Troop 941 for donating over 200 boxes of cookies for our neighbors. 🍪
It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a reminder that care can come in many forms, and that kindness is something you can start practicing early and carry for a lifetime.
We’re so appreciative of these girls, their families, and everyone who helped make this donation possible.

At 94, Ms. Emma is thriving at home. 💚
Not because of a single moment of change—but because of consistent care, nutritious meals, and a community that shows up for her every week.
She’s been part of the Meals on Wheels Chesapeake community for nine years. In that time, she’s received more than meals—she’s gained connection, support, and the ability to live safely and independently in her own home.
Her doctor was surprised to learn her kidney health has improved.
And every week, she’s reminded of the impact of that care:
“The volunteers are very friendly and helpful.” — Ms. Emma
This is what Meals on Wheels Chesapeake makes possible.
And during our Give Local 757 campaign, every donation is doubled, helping more neighbors like Ms. Emma receive the nutrition and connection they need to thrive at home.
