Metro Meals on Wheels

Last year, Meals on Wheels sites across the Twin Cities delivered nearly 1.7 million meals to 9,844 individuals. In 2025, the need continues to grow and so do the challenges. Seniors on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by inflation and economic uncertainty. At the same time, we’re grappling with rising costs and shrinking resources: the price of meals increased by 11% this year, while local and federal funding is being reduced.

Despite these obstacles, our commitment remains firm: no one should go hungry or feel alone. To continue meeting the need, we depend on the support of caring neighbors like you.

Your gift today will help ensure that older adults in our community receive nourishing meals and meaningful human connection.

“I probably would not be able to stay in my home if not for Meals on Wheels. I’m just not able to cook anymore. I appreciate pleasant people coming to the door and bringing me a meal that I can eat.”  - Char, Minneapolis Meal Recipient

In addition to providing nutritious food, your donation helps deliver something just as essential — friendship and stability. Volunteer visits make it possible for seniors like Nicki to remain in their homes when they have nowhere else to go.

Together, we can ensure that our older neighbors are nourished, connected, and cared for. Thank you for being part of this essential work.
