How You Can Help Meals on Wheels

For many community members, the common belief is that the only way you can help your local Meals on Wheels program is to volunteer. Granted yes, that is a viable way to help, but there are many other methods to help as well!

Meals on Wheels is a very welcoming and flexible organization when it comes to accepting your creative ideas on impacting their service community, and how you can help. It’s just a matter of taking the first step. You can always call and get in touch with your local office to suggest an idea such as cards to send with deliveries, seasonal care packages... etc. These small but thoughtful gifts can be mighty by helping brighten a senior’s day. A few other ways you can support Meals on Wheels is by decorating lunch bags and placements, to give them a nice creative pop for their recipients. By organizing small donation tables at local fundraisers and community events such as farmer markets, and most important of all—educate. Read and research the effects of hunger, and how it impacts the community, and then spread the word.
