Meals on Wheels it is not just about providing a meal; our visit brings hope, it brings health, it brings nutrition, and we love it when we can make a senior’s day! This is one of the comments we hear often: “Thanks to my driver and staff, it's nice to see a friendly person who shows concern for me. I am a senior and a shut in and besides the much-appreciated meals, I enjoy a friendly face. Sometimes I don't see visitors for days. Mat-Su Meals on Wheels is on track to deliver over 130,000 meals to seniors here in the Mat-Su this year.
Help us make their day and be a part of this event: run, walk or roll, sponsor a runner, be a business sponsor or donate.
