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.
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. 💚
We hope everyone had a special Mother’s Day weekend. 💚
Another week of meals, care, and connection is on the way.
See what’s on the menu for this week. 🍽️

Motherhood. It’s early mornings and late nights. It’s carrying more than anyone sees. It’s love that stretches across generations—shaping children, holding families together, and leaving a legacy that lasts.
At Meals on Wheels of Chesapeake, we honor that full circle of care. The mothers raising children today, the caregivers supporting families at every stage of life, and the senior mothers and grandmothers whose love and wisdom continue to guide us all.
Today, we honor every mother, mother figure, and caregiver in our community.
Happy Mother’s Day. 💚
We’re nearly halfway to our Give Local 757 goal—and it’s because of you. Thank you! 🩵🧡❤️
Every name below represents a donor whose generosity is making this good work possible—meals delivered, wellness checks made, and connection restored.
Thank you to everyone who has already stepped forward. Your support is what keeps this care going for our neighbors who rely on it every day.
And we’re not done yet.
We’ve officially extended our 2X match through May 31st, because the need is still great—and every gift continues to go twice as far. Twice the meals, twice the wellness checks, twice the moments of connection.
If you’ve been meaning to give, there’s still time to make a difference.
We’re halfway there. Let’s finish this together and show up for our community.
