A MISSION THAT DELIVERS
Providing the support our seniors need to extend their independence and health as they age.
For many seniors in our community, Meals on Wheels is the difference between remaining in their own homes and needing to relocate to a nursing facility. The nutritious meal, wellness check, and caring contact help them cope with three of the biggest threats of aging: hunger, isolation, and loss of independence.
A SOLUTION THAT WORKS
Your compassion and generosity fuel the most effective solution to senior isolation and hunger in Oklahoma.
-
26% of Oklahoma seniors are threatened by hunger.
-
90% of recipients say Meals on Wheels improves their health and makes them feel more secure.
-
36% drop in hospital stay rates after only 30 days of Meals on Wheels service.
-
A senior can receive one year of Meals on Wheels service for roughly the same price as a one-night stay in a hospital.
The senior population is the fastest growing demographic in Oklahoma.
DO GOOD.
FEEL GOOD.
When you are a Meals on Wheels volunteer, you are delivering much more than a nutritious meal - you are delivering wellness checks and caring contact. For many of our homebound seniors, you will be the only person they see or talk to all day.
Your time volunteer with Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa will have a profound impact on many lives, including your own. And that feels good. Because when you do good, you feel good.
Find the volunteer opportunity that fits your schedule. A typical volunteer route takes about an hour to complete.
