Wait, WHAT? That’s right. Due to a lack of funding, many seniors who need the help of Meals on Wheels programs may end up on a waitlist. That needs to change. We’ve got a bold new plan to #EndTheWait and make sure that everyone who needs our help gets it. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gzKwPmXX

Volunteers at @meals4tulsa recently came together to build a ramp for one of a senior client in Oklahoma. For those who rely on a wheelchair to get around, a ramp is more than just a convenience—it’s a vital for safety and independence.❤️ https://lnkd.in/gyWYci2f

We’re excited to announce that Meals on Wheels America has been recognized with the Human Animal Bond Innovation Award for Public Service by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI)! This award celebrates our efforts to protect and strengthen the human-animal bond across nearly all 50 states. Pets play a critical role in helping seniors combat loneliness and isolation, and we’re proud to contribute to this vital cause. Thank you to our community and partners for making this possible. Together, we’re building a brighter future for both seniors and their pets. 🐾
HABRI is honored to celebrate Meals on Wheels America as a winner of the 2024 Public Service Human Animal Bond Innovation Award! Meals on Wheels bridges human services and animal welfare to ease the challenges of pet ownership and preserve the human-animal bond. What started as small programs providing ad hoc support has grown to be robust and multi-faceted programs encompassing an array of services, including pet food and supply deliveries, access to veterinary care, grooming, emergency boarding, and dog walking. The organization has also released national research findings to the public to raise awareness among new audiences about the prevalence of social isolation and the effectiveness of pet programs as a solution. Thank you to Zoetis for serving as the category sponsor for this year’s Public Service award.
