You can help build a stronger community right here in San Antonio when you volunteer with Meals on Wheels. There's lots of opportunities, and some of them can be done from the comfort of home.
Older adults have built resilience and strength over their lives through successes, failures, joys, and difficulties. Their stories and contributions help to support and inspire others. We are lucky to have the opportunity to share their stories with them when delivering more than a meal, or as a Friendly Caller.

It's Older Americans Month and we're so lucky to share Catalina's beautiful story. At the beginning of the pandemic, she started as a Friendly Caller Volunteer (part of our Friendly Visitor Program), and she loves sharing how much volunteering has helped her!

Next month, when you donate to Meals on Wheels San Antonio your donation can count double! We've been offered the opportunity to receive a grant to match up to $100,000 in community donations. But It's only during the month of JUNE!!
Every donation helps us reach our goal and brings us closer to having another $200,000 to help seniors in our community have nutritious meals, friendly visits, safety checks, and the ability to make sure their furry loved ones are cared for too! Please help us reach our goal in June!
