Metro Meals on Wheels

Last year, Meals on Wheels sites across the Twin Cities delivered more than 1.5 million meals to 8,995 people. Each delivery provided nourishment and connection to a neighbor in need.

In 2026, rising costs, economic uncertainty, and reduced government assistance are placing even greater pressure on older adults living on fixed incomes. In Minnesota, 44% of single seniors lack the income needed to cover their basic needs. Too many of our older neighbors are being forced to choose between paying bills and buying food.

Your gift helps close that gap. With your support, older adults throughout our community will continue to receive nutritious meals, dependable support, and the comfort of knowing someone cares.

This Give to the Max, our goal is to raise $100,000 from individual donors — enough to provide 14,285 hot meals and friendly visits to neighbors in need. Give between Nov. 1 and 19, and your donation will have 50% more impact thanks to a generous match from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation.

“Meals on Wheels has been very important to me because my family does not have to worry about me getting the appropriate food or not eating.” — Eugene, Richfield Meal Recipient

Your donation provides more than nutritious food. It also delivers friendship and support older adults like Eugene need to continue living independently at home.

Give today to help ensure that older neighbors receive the meals and caring connection they need this holiday season. Thank you for being part of this essential work!
