Power The Knock™

Without consistent support, older adults face increased risk of food insecurity, isolation, and declining health, making it harder to safely remain in their homes.

More than 1 in 6 Central Texans face food insecurity
-
Over 2,000 meals delivered every day across Central Texas
-
Only 1% if philanthropic giving goes to aging causes. That’s why every dollar helps!

I was inspired to give because I have been very blessed and felt compelled to give back. I have known about Meals on Wheels for many years, and now that I’m older myself, I am more keenly aware of seniors’ needs and the difficulties they may have in getting their needs met. Your organization helps them meet their most basic need — food. I wanted to be a part of your team as a result.
