Meals on Wheels South Texas

10/29/2026

When someone new walks through the door at Connection Club, everyone in the room benefits, and so does the wider community. Every person who joins an activity at Meals on Wheels South Texas adds to the belonging and friendship that make the program work, and showing up is a meaningful form of support for older adults in Victoria.

If you're thinking about a first visit, it's super easy to get started. We encourage you to look over the monthly calendar, find something that piques your interest, and call at least one day ahead to reserve a place. If you're new to us, our staff will walk you through a short intake so you're set up before you arrive. Some gatherings include a meal, though lunch isn't served every day.

Invite an older adult in your life to try one activity this month by calling 361-237-4416.

What a wonderful day for Mahjong, community, and a great cause! 🀄💚

Thank you to everyone who made our inaugural Mahjong for Meals, presented by H-E-B, such a special event! From our incredible sponsors and generous donors to everyone who joined us at the tables, your support means so much to Meals on Wheels South Texas.

With government funding cuts impacting our programs and the growing need for services across Victoria, DeWitt, Jackson and Goliad Counties, your support helps us continue delivering more than a meal to the seniors who count on us.

We are so grateful to our community for showing up, sharing the fun, and helping us make a difference. These photos capture just a little of the joy, connection, and generosity that made our first Mahjong for Meals one to remember!

We're already planning our next round! Mahjong for Meals: MAHJ ROYALE is coming September 2027! Get ready for another year of Mahjong, community, and making a meaningful impact for our seniors. Stay tuned for more details!

Thank you for helping us turn a love of Mahjong into something truly meaningful. We can't wait to see you at the tables again!

For many people, their pet is considered family, and this is especially true for older adults. Keeping that family member fed and cared for, however, can be difficult for some. Our PAW Pet Care Assistance program delivers dry dog and cat food each month to Meals on Wheels South Texas clients who have pets, and eligible clients can also receive help with routine veterinary care through our partnership with the Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation.

Supplies run out pretty quickly. Here are the items we're in need of most right now:
▪️Dry cat food
▪️Dry dog food
▪️Leashes
▪️Toys

The pets fund covers supplies and vet care, our wishlist is another way to send exactly what's needed, and monthly pet food delivery is one of the most flexible volunteer roles we have.

📢Today, we're sending a high-five to our Four Winds Sponsor: Wellsential Health!

We deeply appreciate your generous support. Your donation helps us greatly as we continue to serve seniors in the Crossroads community, ensuring they receive the care and resources they need.🫶

Six days until the tables are full, the tiles are flying and somebody inevitably blames their entire loss on one bad draw.

We can't wait.
