Cabarrus Meals on Wheels

👋 We’ve welcomed lots of new followers lately, so we’re reintroducing the incredible people behind our mission! Today’s spotlight: Nicole Slavick!

Nicole has been a part of our hardworking kitchen team since September 2021 and plays a big role in preparing the outgoing meals for the seniors we serve each day. 🍽️ She helps run the morning pack line, carefully packs meal trays, and ensures every meal meets both quality and quantity standards before it goes out for delivery.

Thanks to Nicole’s dedication and attention to detail, hundreds of seniors receive meals that are prepared with care and consistency every single day.

💙 Stay tuned as we introduce more of the amazing team that makes our mission possible in the coming weeks!

We’re so grateful for all our incredible volunteers, and we’re especially proud to celebrate those who reached service milestones this month! Your dedication, kindness, and commitment help ensure seniors across Cabarrus County receive nutritious meals and meaningful connections every day.

☀️ 12 weeks of summer means 12 chances to make a difference.

This summer, consider adopting a Meals on Wheels route for the 12 weeks of summer (or even a few of them!). 🚗💙 It’s a meaningful way for families, businesses, churches, civic groups, and friends to give back together while making sure homebound seniors receive nutritious meals and friendly visits.

Just a couple of hours around lunchtime can make a lasting impact for someone counting on us.

Can your group adopt a route this summer? Learn more and sign up: cabarrusmow.org/adopt-a-route

🍽️ Fresh meals. Thoughtfully prepared. Made with care.

“I just want to say ‘Thank You’ for all the meals I have received. The food is fantastic. It is absolutely awesome.” – Mr. B

At Cabarrus Meals on Wheels, every meal is cooked fresh in-house each morning by our kitchen team. We prepare low-sodium meals designed to support senior nutrition, with rotating menus that provide both variety and balanced nourishment.

We’re honored to be featured in this video highlighting the impact of nutrition and wellness programs for older adults across our region. 💙
