Board Updates


A message from Meals on Wheels Texas President Dan Williams-Capone:


I am excited and honored to have been elected president of Meals on Wheels Texas. Over the next two years, I look forward to working together to strengthen our statewide network so that any senior, anywhere in Texas that needs services, can access services. We have shown, time and again, our resiliency in facing the challenges thrown at us: hurricanes, pandemics, freezes—none have stopped us serving the seniors we serve. My goal is to continue the work others have done before me to grow and strengthen the networking, resource-sharing, and advocacy work of the statewide association.

I am a firm believer, that together, we can do more than we can apart. Let us know how we might serve you better—as well as your ideas on how we can work together to better serve the seniors of Texas.

Dan Williams-Capone
