Meals on Wheels of Lee's Summit, MO MISSION: To deliver hot nutritious meals to the elderly and disabled citizens of Lee's Summit... Not-For-Profit 501(c)(3) organization

In 1974, two Lee’s Summit residents, Lois Elbel and Linda Dempsey, recognized a need in their community. They saw friends and neighbors who were unable to grocery shop or prepare food for themselves, which impacted their quality of life. Lois saw the positive impact of a Meals On Wheels program in Indiana that delivered meals to her mother, and knew that a similar program could help those in Lee’s

Summit. Meals on Wheels of Lee’s Summit started with fifteen clients but has grown and now has served over 650,000 meals since its inception. For more information visit https://MealsOnWheelsLS.org or call 816-743-4400.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our cherished volunteers.

For years, Sandi Henry dedicated her time, kindness, and compassion to serving our community through Meals on Wheels of Lee’s Summit. Her warm smile and generous spirit brought comfort not only to those receiving meals, but to everyone who had the privilege of working alongside her.

Sandi Henry embodied the true meaning of service—showing up with reliability, care, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Her impact will be felt for years to come in the lives she touched and the friendships she built.

We are deeply grateful for her service and will carry her legacy forward in all that we do.

Please join us in keeping her family and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Today, Meals on Wheels of Lee’s Summit was proud to host local political and school board candidates at Lee's Summit Medical Center as part of our March for Meals celebration.

Guests learned about the impact of senior food insecurity at both the state and local level, toured our Meals on Wheels operations, and met the incredible frontline staff and volunteers who prepare nearly 700 meals each week.

They also had the opportunity to connect with our dedicated volunteer drivers and help send meals out into the community—seeing firsthand the difference these services make every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to support our mission and raise awareness for the seniors we serve! 💙
