Overview
Mission
Meals on wheels Texas is a voluntary membership association of home-delivered and congregate meal programs established to ensure every older person and individual with a disability in Texas is well nourished and has the social supports they need to age in place with dignity.

Meals on wheels Texas strives to create a strong network of meal providers that can secure additional resources from funding partners for those we serve, and quantify the need for meals and ancillary services among older texans.
