OUR MISSION Meals on Wheels East Texas empowers older and disabled adults to live independently in their own homes by providing nutritious home-delivered meals, safety checks, socialization, and community connection, which result in an enhanced quality of life and purpose as everyday people join us in ministry. Meals on Wheels Ministry, Inc. serves a daily meal to over 2,500 older and disabled East Texans Monday through Thursday every week; clients receive a hot meal and a frozen meal on Thursdays so they have one for Friday lunch as well. These meals are prepared fresh at the central kitchen in Tyler and are then delivered by compassionate volunteers to eligible persons who cannot provide meals for themselves. This is often the only meal – and visitor – they may have that day. OUR GOALS To supply homebound older and disabled citizens with nutritious meals To abate the loneliness and isolation of elderly and disabled persons by providing daily contact with members of their community To promote the health, safety, and welfare of all elderly and disabled persons in East Texas
