Metroport Meals On Wheels, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that organizes volunteers to deliver hot lunches to the homes of elderly, frail, chronically ill, or home-bound individuals.

How You Can Help: At this time, MMOW’s most pressing needs are monetary donations and items on their ongoing Amazon Wish List, which are critical to their operation.

MMOW also needs volunteers to help prepare and distribute the meals, though this isn’t their primary need at this time. You can learn more about their volunteer opportunities or about MMOW on their website.

If you need this service: Most MMOW home-delivery participants are home bound. For many, the visit from a MMOW driver may be the only interaction they have with another person in a day. Receiving meals reduces isolation in addition to hunger. To apply for meals or for more information, please call Andrea Burris at (817) 491-8534 or visit the MMOW website.
