Alameda County Meals on Wheels

"Delivering warm, home delivered meals to over 2,200 homebound seniors each day."

Emergency Kits for Seniors

In an effort to prepare homebound seniors for emergencies like earthquakes, heat waves, and other natural disasters, Alameda County Meals on Wheels is partnering with local businesses, organizations, and volunteers to ensure every homebound senior we serve has emergency supplies on hand. While government organizations recommend obtaining emergency supplies to help prepare for a disaster, most homebound seniors have no means to do so.

In 2006, Alameda County Meals on Wheels with the help of volunteers made and distributed over 2,000 emergency kits tailored for homebound seniors.

Safeway, Inc. donated over 17,000 bottles of water towards emergency kits for homebound seniors.

There was a great turn out of volunteers as well to help produce the emergency kits in 2006. Volunteers included but was not limited to:

Over 17,000 bottles of water donated by Safeway, Inc. for vital emergency kits for seniors.

Japanese American Services of the East Bay (JASEB) and the East Bay Rising Suns Basketball Team assisting in production of emergency kits.

The Hayward Lion's Club, the Hayward Rotary Club, and others assisting in assembly of emergency kits.
