Make a Difference for Meals on Wheels Yolo County

The local senior population is growing rapidly as the Baby Boom generation ages, older adults' access to public food assistance programs is less reliable than in the past, and the tragic health consequences of social isolation are gaining recognition.  

Simultaneously, Meals on Wheels Yolo County (MOW Yolo) is resource-challenged to provide more meals and more friendly contact to more seniors, and government sources provide only 15% of MOW Yolo's annual budget.  It's community members LIKE YOU who provide the majority of MOW Yolo's funding...Yolo County residents caring for and providing for their elder neighbors.  MOW Yolo is rooted in community and has been for 51 years!

In 2026, MOW Yolo already has cleared a path for 200+ previously waitlisted senior to join the Home-Delivered Meals program.  This means MOW Yolo now is striving to provide as many as 1,400 aging adults in Yolo County with the opportunity to predictably "EAT:  Eat, Age, Thrive" in their own homes and communities, safely and with dignity.  With government funding both reduced and uncertain, it's YOU — our community of compassionate donors and volunteers — who are the heroes making MOW Yolo's mission and Strategic Plan goals possible:

• Fresh, local nutritious food
• Vegetarian and medically-tailored meals options
• Engaging congregate dining experiences
• More rural meals access
