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 are holding the Old Dominion University community in our thoughts after the recent tragedy on campus. As valued partners of MOWC, their commitment to community, service, and care for others has always made a lasting difference.
We also honor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, whose life and leadership reflected a profound dedication to service and protecting those around him.
In moments like these, we are reminded of the strength found in community and compassion. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire ODU community, Lt. Col. Shah’s family, and all those impacted. 💚
🌸 Hello, Spring! 🌸
Today marks the first day of a new season—longer days, warmer sunshine, and fresh beginnings. It’s the perfect time to pause and reflect: what’s one spring memory that always makes you smile? 🌷
For our older neighbors, spring is also a gentle reminder to take care of your health—step outside for a short walk, soak up some vitamin D, stay hydrated, and enjoy fresh, seasonal foods when you can. Small moments in the sunshine can do wonders for both body and spirit. 💚
Here’s to a season of renewal, connection, and brighter days ahead!
The St. Patrick’s Day spirit was strong! 🍀
Thank you to our amazing volunteers, Julie and Kathi, for bringing joy, laughter, and a little extra fun to our neighbors while delivering meals. You make every visit brighter—we’re so grateful for you! 💚
