Feeding Seniors
 

More than 2/3 of our seniors

live alone.

 

The overwhelming majority of our

seniors live on $1,000 or less of

monthly income.

 

Nationally,

1 in 9 seniors experience hunger

each day.

Feeding Seniors
Alameda County Meals on Wheels is a collaboration of the six Meals on Wheels programs in Alameda County that provide warm, home delivered meals to over 2,200 seniors each delivery day. Many of the seniors served live alone or are recovering from illness, and the nutritious meals and daily companionship provided by Meals on Wheels staff and volunteers keep these seniors living independently and with dignity in their own homes.  

This year's Five Star Night was a huge success with fabulous food and fundraising fun! It was indeed an evening to remember! All proceeds will help feed frail, homebound seniors throughout Alameda County. This event makes a tremendous impact on our ability to support seniors in need. A huge thank you to all of the sponsors, donors, volunteers, and countless others who, year after year, make Five Star Night possible!
