Mission Statement: To promote the dignity and independence of older adults, persons with disabilities, and other homebound persons by delivering nutritious meals and providing or coordinating needed services.

Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization that has operated independently in Tarrant County since 1973. We provide hot, nourishing meals to homebound elderly and disabled persons in Tarrant County who are unable to prepare meals for themselves and who have no one to do so for them. We also provide professional case management to every client. The meals, daily contact by caring volunteers, and professional case management allow frail, homebound persons to remain in their own home... where they want to be.
A volunteer force of 3,500 delivers meals to 4,000 people each year who truly need our help in neighborhoods throughout Tarrant County. Special volunteers also deliver blankets, fans, supplemental groceries, medical equipment, pet food, and other items essential to help clients maintain their independence.
Volunteers and financial contributors have always been the backbone of our programs. Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County could not operate one day without their unselfish support. Volunteers not only deliver meals but also, perhaps even more importantly, show concern, love, and compassion. For many clients, volunteers are the only people they see each day. Financial contributors provide over 60% of our operating budget. Without their help, our agency could not feed 2,000+ people per day and would not have a central kitchen. |
