Each March, Meals on Wheels celebrates the moment that started it all—the 1972 launch of the national senior nutrition program under the Older Americans Act. That milestone sparked a movement that now nourishes and connects 2.8 million seniors every year across the country.
Throughout March, local businesses and community partners join the celebration by sponsoring meal delivery routes, riding along with our volunteers, and helping raise awareness of the vital work Meals on Wheels does every day. It’s a hands-on way to see your impact—and to deliver hope right to a senior’s doorstep.
