MOWAM Seeking Compassionate Hearts

Meals on Wheels and More must raise $5 million in the coming year to expand our facilities. Future population projections demonstrate there will be an immense need for the life-sustaining services we provide, and we need your help.

The Coming Population Boom

By the year 2015, city demographers predict the number of persons 65 and older in Travis County will exceed 165,000. By 2020, this number is expected to hit 214,000 – meaning seniors will then comprise 10 percent of the population.  The growth of this age group will outpace all others.

It is also expected that in 2020, 17 percent of seniors will live below the poverty line and one out of four will have severe disabilities.

Meals on Wheels and More’s client base will increase exponentially in the next decade, making it imperative that we expand our facility and boost our capacity to serve the most fragile, isolated members of our community.

Compassion Builds a New Kitchen 

The need for our services is great and will become greater.

In 2008, we will prepare over 1 million meals for our clients – up from the 875,000 meals prepared in 2007.

We must build a larger facility if we want to meet the growing demand for basic needs in this community.
