Join Us to End the Wait!

Join us in the fight against senior hunger and help End the Wait.

Right now, thousands of older adults across the country are waiting for the lifesaving support of Meals on Wheels. The End the Wait campaign, led by Meals on Wheels America, is bringing national attention to the urgent need to ensure that no senior is left hungry or alone.

Here in Athens, we see this need firsthand. Every day, we deliver nutritious meals and a friendly visit to older adults who might otherwise go without. Meals on Wheels programs keep our seniors healthier, safer, and living in their own homes. But right now, 40 of our older neighbors—our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends—are still waiting for a warm meal and a friendly visit. The good news? You can help end that wait.

Your support makes an immediate impact:

🔹 $11 delivers a lifesaving meal and a friendly visit. For the price of your lunch today, you can ensure that your older neighbor doesn’t go without tomorrow.
🔹 $55 nourishes a senior for an entire week. That’s five days of knowing someone cares, five safety checks, five moments of connection.
🔹 $230 transforms a month. Imagine the relief of knowing a healthy and delicious meal will arrive at your door for 30 days, creating stability and improved health.
🔹 $2,750 changes a life for an entire year. Your extraordinary generosity would provide 250 meals, 250 safety checks, and countless moments of dignity to one senior for a full year.

Join us in the fight to End the Wait and ensure that every senior in our community gets the nourishment, care, and connection they deserve.
