What Meals Do
Something as simple as a weekday Tabitha Meals on Wheels lunch delivered directly to Senior neighbors’ doorsteps is a difference maker.
Older adults who are unable to shop for or prepare meals depend on this vital service.
This program helps Seniors remain independent and in the comfort of their home longer, while providing peace of mind to family and friends who may not live close enough to be of assistance.
- Offer friendly visits
- Nourish older adults
- Provide safety checks
- Give families peace of mind
- Reduce medical costs
- Decrease loneliness
- Fight hunger
- Build community
In 2025, Tabitha needs to raise nearly $700,000 to cover the costs of Tabitha Meals on Wheels, as many recipients cannot cover the $8.75 cost of a meal delivery.
