Groups and Organizations
Groups can help by sponsoring teams of volunteers to deliver meals and by donating towards the cost of providing the service.
Funds
Unfortunately, only about 20% of our meal recipients are able to pay for their meals. It is up to us to raise the funds so they do not go hungry. The need is growing, but the funds are shrinking. Your gift will go far to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry.
Mission Statement
Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lynchburg Area has been providing healthy meals, friendly smiles, and warm reassurance to the local homebound community since 1974.
Service
Meals are delivered mid-day, Monday through Friday including all holidays. Volunteers deliver the meals in their own cars at their own expense, which helps keep the cost of meals low. A special group of drivers is organized to deliver meals in the event of adverse weather conditions, particularly snow, and ice. Meals on Wheels serve people who live in the city of Lynchburg and the surrounding areas of Madison Heights, Amherst County, Campbell County, and Bedford County.
