Meals on Wheels San Diego County

We’re honored to share that Meals on Wheels San Diego County has been selected by as the 2026 California Nonprofit of the Year for the 40th State Senate District as part of the 11th Annual California Nonprofits of the Year Initiative.

Thank you, Senator Jones, for this meaningful recognition and for helping shine a light on the importance of supporting older adults in our community. This honor reflects the dedication of our volunteers, staff, supporters, and everyone who helps us deliver more than a meal each day. 💙

Had so much fun at our VIP event last night celebrating the incredible sponsors helping make our 2026 Gala possible, while also honoring the amazing Navarra family and for their continued support of our mission. ✨

🪩💃🕺🏻We can’t wait for June 6 at Kona Kai Resort! Tickets for our Gala are available at the link in bio.

Thank you for sharing your story and for highlighting the importance of the daily check-ins our Meals On Wheels volunteers provide along with every delivery.

“After using another meal delivery service for about a year, our family decided to switch to Meals On Wheels for our 88-year-old father. Not only was Meals On Wheels more economical, but the daily interaction between the volunteer and client was incredibly important to us, since he was living alone in his home. The previous service simply dropped the food at the doorstep.

That decision proved to be lifesaving.

Shortly after deliveries began, the Meals On Wheels volunteer was unable to make contact with our father one day. The volunteer immediately contacted Meals On Wheels to report the missed check-in, and soon after, we received a call from the Director informing us that they had been unable to reach him.

When I went to check on my father, I found him lying in the hallway after suffering a fall hours earlier. He was injured and unable to get up. If not for the diligence of the Meals On Wheels volunteer and Director, it could have been several more hours before he was found.

Every generation processes volunteering differently apparently ✨

come see what all the emotional attachment is about.
