$1,583 Raised for Meals on Wheels

Since 1974, Meals on Wheels Summit, Utah & Wasatch has delivered hot, nutritious meals and meaningful human connection directly to the doors of homebound seniors across Summit, Utah, and Wasatch counties. For many of the older adults we serve, that daily knock at the door is more than a meal delivery, 60% of our clients report that their Meals on Wheels volunteer is the only person they see in a day.

Our volunteers provide informal wellness checks with every delivery, creating a consistent safety net for seniors who might otherwise go unnoticed. The result is a program where 85% of clients feel safer and more secure in their own homes.

Despite this strong foundation, a funding gap has placed 219 eligible seniors on a waitlist for services. These are parents, grandparents, neighbors, and community members who qualify for support but are not yet receiving it. With 95 cents of every donated dollar going directly to meals, every contribution moves us closer to the day when no senior in our community has to wait for the nutrition and connection they deserve.
