ESTABLISHED 1937
MISSION Meals on Wheels has been this region’s trusted senior services provider for over 80 years. Our mission is to deliver essential services that promote the independence and well-being of seniors so they may remain in the comfort of their own homes. Serving nearly 7,000 seniors daily across all the organization’s programs, Meals on Wheels reaches the region’s most vulnerable seniors. Every year, 10,000 unique seniors across 13 counties in Ohio and Kentucky receive comprehensive services purposefully designed to prevent hunger, loneliness, and exploitation while building a welcoming sense of community. Meals on Wheels services alleviate the burden on caregivers and public programs, reduce the need for hospitalizations and long-term care facilities, and aim to ensure seniors in our region lead happier, healthier lives.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY “Much more than a meal” succinctly captures Meal on Wheels’ greater works. Our programs are designed to enable seniors to live with independence and dignity. Meals on Wheels of Southwest OH & Northern KY is on pace to deliver more than 1.2 million meals in 2024 prepared in our restaurant-grade kitchen. We also provide group socialization, pet support, health and wellness, digital connection, birthday celebrations, transportation, independent living assistance, and a full case management program focused on financial management, guardianship, and protective payee services. This work is accomplished by nearly 150 staff, 4,300 active volunteers, and partnerships with nonprofits, churches, and companies.
