Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches

When we think about health, we often think about diet, exercise, and doctor appointments. But there’s a silent epidemic affecting millions of older adults that doesn't show up on an X-ray: loneliness. 👵🏼👴🏾

Studies show that chronic loneliness can be just as damaging to health as smoking.The good news? The antidote is simple. It’s connection.
We knock on doors bringing fresh cooked meals and our own antidote to loneliness - hellos, hugs and check-ins.

Our Claris Companion program provides tablets free of charge to senior clients so they connect with others, engage in challenges for cognitive health, and more.

So remember to take 5 minutes today to:
📞 Call a grandparent, older neighbor, or relative just to chat.
👋 Wave and say hello to an elder in your building or street.
💌 Send a postcard or a quick text checking in.

A small moment of your day could be the highlight of theirs. Let’s look out for our seniors. ❤️

At Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches,
our volunteers are the heart of everything we do. 💙

As a small token of appreciation for their time, compassion, and dedication to serving homebound seniors and veterans throughout Palm Beach County, each volunteer received a reusable cooler bag to take with them on future deliveries and everyday adventures.

We are so grateful for the kindness, smiles, and care our volunteers bring to every route and every client they serve. Together, we are delivering so much more than a meal.

A favorite is on the menu tomorrow! 🌯🌯🌯 Because sometimes the smallest comforts bring the biggest smiles. We love feedback from our clients, and responses to our "satisfaction & requests" survey - said more subs when it's warm again!

Course we had to add fresh blueberries and chicken tortellini salad

🥧 Happy National Apple Pie Day! 🥧

Today, we’re celebrating one of America’s sweetest traditions—and looking ahead to one of our favorite community campaigns of the year!

Save the Date for the 12th Annual Pie It Forward campaign benefiting Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches, coming again this fall. 🍎

Each year, Palm Beach County’s best chefs, restaurants, businesses, and community partners come together to raise critical funds supporting local homebound seniors and veterans in need. From delicious pies to meaningful impact, every slice helps nourish neighbors throughout our community.

Today we say goodbye to our dear friend, Sal.

For the past four years, it has been our honor to serve him and share in his stories, laughter, and incredible life as a 102-year-old World War II veteran. He was more than a client—he was part of our Meals on Wheels family. We are proud and humbled to have been part of the support needed to help Sal continue living in his own home.

We will miss him deeply and are grateful for the time we had.

Rest easy, Sal. 🇺🇸❤️

Something big is just around the corner… 👀🍽️

In just a few weeks, we’ll open the doors to our new kitchen—and the impact on our community will be incredible. More space means more meals prepared, more neighbors reached, and more seniors receiving the nourishment and care they depend on every day.

In this video, our CEO shares what this new chapter will mean for the future of our mission—and for the homebound seniors we serve.

A meaningful moment of impact and partnership 💙

The Admirals Cove Foundation recently presented Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches with a generous $30,000 grant to support vital food subsidies for homebound seniors and veterans in the northern part of the county. This funding helps ensure our clients continue to receive the nutritious meals they rely on each day.

We were also proud to honor the Admirals Cove Foundation as a Circle of Excellence honoree at our More Than a Meal Luncheon—recognizing their ongoing commitment to strengthening our community.

Thank you for standing with us and helping us deliver more than just a meal.
