We deliver meals Tuesday through Saturday mornings; in different parts of Oahu on different days of the week. We currently need drivers on the West and Leeward side, as well as back-up, occasional drivers.
Our mission is to provide healthy and nutritious food to homebound seniors to help them remain in their homes and age with dignity.

Mission Statement
Lanakila Pacific Meals on Wheels is a program of Lanakila Pacific, a 501(c)(3) organization offering assistance programs and operating social enterprises to build independence and improve the quality of life for individuals with cognitive, physical, social or age-related challenges. Since 1939, our vision has been to embody self-sufficiency and inspire inclusive communities where people of all ages and abilities are empowered to live independently, find meaningful employment and thrive in spirit.
Description
As the only island-wide senior meal delivery service, Lanakila Meals on Wheels serves 2,700 seniors and provides over 576,000 meals yearly: all thanks to our wonderful volunteers. Our meals are nutritious, providing homebound, low-income, or isolated kupuna with the boost they need to continue living with dignity at home. And it's more than just a meal - valuable interactions with staff and volunteers provide the aloha and wellness checks often missing from the lives of solitary seniors.
