$90,000 Goal

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 living on fixed incomes are among those hit hardest by inflation, economic uncertainty, and cuts to safety-net programs. At the same time, we’re facing rising costs and shrinking resources — the price of a meal has increased by 11% this year, while both local and federal funding have been 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 generosity of caring neighbors like you.

This Give to the Max, we’ve set a goal of raising $90,000 from individual donors — enough to provide 12,857 hot meals and friendly visits to neighbors in need. Your gift between Nov. 1–20 will go even further thanks to generous support from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation and A1 Garage Door Service — every $2 you give unlocks $1 in matching funds!

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 Char and Barb (story below) to remain in their homes when they have nowhere else to go.

With a donation today, you’ll help ensure that older neighbors receive the meals and companionship they need this holiday season. Thank you for being part of this essential work!
