Meals On Wheels: Fighting Senior Hunger

The Senior Meals on Wheels Program offers a wide array of nutritional services to the elderly. Meals are prepared locally, target a senior's specific nutritional needs and provide one-third of the RDA or Recommended Daily Allowance of nutrition. The organization feeds more than one million senior citizens each day.

There are around 5,000 local Senior Nutrition Programs in the U.S. Some serve the population at dining halls in senior centers, others deliver meals directly to homes, particularly when mobility is limited. Wheels on Meals relies on both paid staff and countless volunteers.
