Help us dream big(ger) in 2026
Next year's momentum starts now
We are ready. But we cannot do it without you.
While many of us think of this season as joyful, our homebound neighbors often spend it in silence, feeling forgotten behind closed doors. Many have no family nearby, no way to leave home, and no one other than our dedicated volunteers and staff here at Meals on Wheels Central Texas checking in.
Nationally, 24% of Americans age 60+ live alone—and here in Central Texas, thousands of older adults face this long stretch of “silent nights” with growing fear, hunger, and uncertainty. But we can break that silence together.
Your tax-deductible gift before December 31, 2025, enables us to keep delivering more than just meals — but hope, safety, and dignity. With your support today, we can continue providing nutritious meals, wellness checks, and vital services to those who depend on us.

"The 5 volunteers who come to my door are still the same volunteers that began 2 years ago. We have become friends and it is wonderful. I look forward to seeing them each day. And they don’t just deliver food, they also bring the human connection, provide computer help, invitation to yoga classes, healthy advice. I am fortunate on so many levels. To live a joyous life, we must have joyous thoughts and Meals on Wheels brings it, Thank you a million times!!"
