Mission
Meals on Wheels San Diego County’s (MOWSDC) mission is to empower seniors and veterans by nourishing their minds, bodies, and spirits.[1][4][6]
About
Meals on Wheels San Diego County serves all of San Diego County, including the 3,049 square miles of rural and unincorporated areas. Of all seniors served, 84% are considered extremely-low to low income according to the 2017 income guidelines by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We subsidize 60% of the costs of meals, delivery, and other services provided, regardless of a seniors' ability to pay. Further subsidies are provided for seniors who are experiencing severe financial difficulties. For fiscal year 2018, we served over 3,150 homebound seniors throughout San Diego County with 427,173 meals, daily safety checks and friendly visits using 3,049 trained volunteers. Meals on Wheels clients report improved health, security and independence. For millions of Americans, Meals on Wheels programs across the country are literally the difference between remaining in their own homes and needing to relocate to a nursing facility. The nutritious meal, friendly visit and safety check help them cope with three of the biggest threats of aging: hunger, isolation and loss of independence. Research proves that when seniors have the right support, they gain greater quality of life, need fewer hospital stays and live longer.
