We are so fortunate to have donors who come back to us, year after year, to show their support for our seniors. We invite you to consider joining one of our circles for a deeper connection to our mission and to help ensure Meals on Wheels will be around for generations to come.
Donors who choose to support Meals on Wheels San Diego County every month for any amount may find it easier to budget monthly all while helping Meals on Wheels keep our wheels rolling, even in summer months when donations typically drop off. Monthly support is key to our ability to deliver meals for each and every day of the year.
Even small amounts make a difference when donated every month.
Your monthly gift provides a steady source of income that will provide weeks, months, and years of elderly help.

Meals on Wheels San Diego County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized by the IRS
Number 95-2660509
Meals on Wheels is the only agency providing meals for 7 days a week, including holidays. Additionally, we cover the entire county, including delivery into the over 3,049 square miles of rural and unincorporated areas. Meals on Wheels San Diego County subsidizes 60% of the costs for meals, delivery, and other services provided, regardless of a senior’s ability to pay.
Distributing home-delivered meals and safety checks could not be accomplished without the help of our very large and caring volunteer workforce who deliver meals with a hug and a smile and ensure our homebound seniors are OK. Frequently the volunteer may be the only person the senior sees all day, providing human contact and a safety net, particularly for those seniors living alone. Lives are saved nearly every week as a result of acquiring the proper emergency personnel for someone who has fallen, had a stroke, or is simply in need of additional resources.
