Meals on Wheels SD is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering seniors and veterans to maintain their independence by nourishing their bodies, minds, and spirits. With a mission to support the well-being and overall quality of life for San Diego County's elderly population, Meals on Wheels delivers more than just meals. They provide essential services such as home-delivered meals, safety checks, and human connection to those in need.

Every day, dedicated volunteers ensure that seniors and veterans receive nutritious meals and warm smiles. These volunteers are the backbone of the organization, delivering meals to over 4,500 clients and covering over 700,000 miles each year. And it doesn't stop there.

Meals on Wheels also serves as a lifeline for those living alone, providing vital human contact and acting as a safety net in case of emergencies. By subsidizing 60% of the costs for meals, delivery, and other services, Meals on Wheels ensures that seniors can access these essential resources, regardless of their ability to pay. Their commitment extends throughout the entire county, including rural and unincorporated areas, covering more than 3,049 square miles.

To make a difference in the lives of seniors and veterans in need, you can donate or volunteer with Meals on Wheels SD. Together, we can create a better way to combat hunger and support the independence and well-being of our beloved elderly community
