About Meals on Wheels
Even before the pandemic hit, 9 million seniors in America were struggling
with hunger. 1 in four seniors were living in isolation. When the pandemic hit
and demand for their service doubled practically overnight, and local programs
were able to rapidly scale to meet the need. By July, they were delivering an
average of 77% more meals, compared to pre-pandemic levels. However, a large
gap remains unfilled.
As the rest of the country is figuring out ways to resume normal activities
safely, seniors remain sheltered in place, often with the knock on the door
from a Meals on Wheels volunteer as their only contact with the outside world,
reminding them that they are not alone.
This is why America’s seniors need us now more than ever. The need is
overwhelming in communities of every size and shape – and we know it will
continue to grow in the weeks and months to come. That’s why we selected Meals
on Wheels as the beneficiary of our upcoming Warming Up the Community
campaign. With your help, we can continue to be there for our parents and
grandparents who have been there for us.
