Committed to our seniors since 1973, Meals on Wheels Montgomery County provides home-delivered meals, safety checks, and transportation services to homebound seniors living in Montgomery County. These services improve the lives of our aging seniors by alleviating hunger and allowing them to remain safe in their own homes. The benefits extend to caregivers, family, and friends, who no longer face the high cost of nursing home facilities or the stress of caring for their loved one alone.

Our goal is to build a community that nourishes, enriches, and strengthens the lives of the elderly in Montgomery County.

We aim to foster the independence and dignity of homebound seniors in Montgomery County by providing them nutritious meals, transportation, and caring contacts.
