Deliver Meals on Wheels the Day After Thanksgiving

Save to Favorites

Volunteer with Meals on Wheels West to deliver nutritious meals and Wellness Checks on Friday, November 29th.

Why: No matter why a person is homebound - chronic illness, frailty, disability, recent surgery or other physical or mental health issues they face two major difficulties: poor nutrition and isolation. Meals on Wheels West volunteers help prevent both by Delivering More Than a Meal to homebound people of all ages and incomes. The nutritious meals and Wellness Checks that you deliver promote the stability, health, and wellness our our homebound, and often times lonely, community members.

Who: Meals On Wheels West is a community-based, nonprofit organization serving the areas of Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu. The organization is committed to enhancing wellness by providing quality healthy meals, nutrition education, and coordinating community resources and referrals for our homebound clients. The goal is simple...to assist neighbors in remaining in their own homes, living with independence and dignity.
