Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels (HMoW) helps kupūna and individuals with disabilities preserve their independence at home by providing nutritious meals, connection and community. Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels was founded in 1979 to provide a hot home-delivered meal service for frail elderly and disabled persons who were unable to cook or shop for themselves and did not have access to help for these essential fu

nctions. We are a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded by former State of Hawaiʻi librarian Irmgard Hörmann and the Social Ministries Committee of the Lutheran Church of Honolulu. She spearheaded the formation of a committee representing different denominations and several Honolulu churches to provide a basic nutritional and human support system for their isolated, disabled, and frail elderly neighbors. Clement, Unitarian Church of Honolulu, First Christian Church, First Presbyterian Church and First United Methodist Church. The service began with two small routes in Makiki and Moʻiliʻili, six clients, six volunteers and $25. In 2016, Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels served more than 97,000 meals with about 450 volunteers. In 2023, HMoW served over 180,000 meals, delivering more than 700 meals per day. Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels continues to grow in response to an increasing need for hot, nutritious, home-delivered meals, human connection, and wellness checks.

Last week the HMoW Volunteer and Outreach team attended the city and county Elderly Affairs Division RSVP Luncheon, which stands for Retired Seniors Volunteer Program. The HMoW home band also performed for the packed crowd.

Kim Itagaki from the EAD has sent us more than a few volunteers from this program.

As it happens, most of our current volunteers are seniors themselves. It only takes an hour and a half per week to make a difference in the life of someone who is homebound.

If you want to know more about becoming a volunteer, please call 808-988-6747 or go to our website at hmow.org/volunteer.

This summer, Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels is grateful to partner with local favorite 100% Hawaiian for our 7th Annual ʻOhana Feast Pack Fundraiser on Saturday, June 6.

Family-owned and operated by Stephanie and Lance Namuo in Nanakuli, 100% Hawaiian built its reputation on serving authentic local food made with heart. From sourcing poi from local vendors to purchasing fresh produce from farms, their commitment to supporting local shines through in every dish.

Having cared for aging parents at home, Stephanie understands the importance of support for kūpuna and caregivers alike.

"Even a little bit helps,” she shared. “A meal can make such a difference for families going through difficult times.”

We are grateful to Stephanie and Lance for their partnership for this upcoming fundraiser. Every feast pack purchased helps Hawaiʻi Meals on Wheels continue providing nutritious meals to kūpuna throughout Oahu.

Place your order for an Ohana Feast Pack today! hmow.org/feastpack
