No one should go hungry, but unfortunately hunger is a growing problem in the senior community. 90% of recipients say that Meals on Wheels is the reason they can stay in their homes. Check out this Senate report for more information about the state of senior nutrition in our country.
The overwhelming majority of our
seniors live on $1,000 or less of
monthly income.
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.
More than 2/3 of our seniors
live alone.
Nationally,
1 in 9 seniors experience hunger
each day.
