Serving Care with Every Meal

Get Started

Need Meals Delivered?

Welcome to Meals on Wheels, a community-driven initiative established in 1973 to support individuals in need. Since our inception, we've been dedicated to providing nourishing meals to countless residents. Our mission is to offer balanced, nutritious meals to those who are unable to prepare their own food - be it the homebound, young, old, handicapped, disabled, or individuals in recovery from illness or injury. Our committed volunteers deliver meals directly to each home five days a week, year-round.


Operated by a volunteer board of directors since its founding in 1973, Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit organization overseen by a director managing day-to-day operations. Our support comes from the recipients of our meals and contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, the United Way, The Reno County Council on Aging, and various other generous contributors. Join us in our endeavor to provide essential support to those in our community who need it most.
