    “I don’t know if I would still be under a roof if it wasn’t for Meals on Wheels OC” - Marco

Thousands of older adults in Orange County struggle with hunger, malnutrition, and isolation. Grocery shopping and meal preparation are very difficult, and often they don’t have family or friends available to help.

That’s why we’re here! Our volunteers and staff deliver three nutritious, heart-healthy meals a day, five days a week, along with a friendly smile and SO MUCH MORE.
