SOS Meals on Wheels

For many of the older adults we serve, our driver's knock is a nutritious meal, a friendly face, and a wellness check to make sure someone is okay. As Alameda County's senior population grows, so does the need for that support.

The Oaklandside took a closer look at what Meals on Wheels means to our community, and at what's at stake if state support doesn't keep pace. It's worth a read. 👇

Thousands of East Bay seniors rely on food delivery services for nutrition and social interaction, and the figure is rising. Meanwhile, the state is considering slashing the county's funding for services.

10 million meals and 60 years of caring. For six remarkable decades, SOS Meals on Wheels has stood as a lifeline for our older homebound neighbors, delivering far more than nutritious meals.

“They’re precious, and we are responsible for our seniors.”

For Kay, a volunteer with SOS Meals on Wheels for four years, it’s about making sure our older neighbors feel connected and cared for.

“It’s giving the seniors another chance to communicate with the volunteers because usually they are lonely, they are at home, family members are working, and so the only point of contact are the volunteers that deliver the meals to them.”

This week, we welcomed longtime volunteers and program supporters to pack and deliver special meals to our seniors in honor of our 10 millionth meal.

We’re proud to celebrate this incredible milestone in the same year as our 60th Anniversary, and even prouder to serve our older neighbors.

Thank you to KRON4 Digital and Philippe Djegal for celebrating this milestone with us!
