Many seniors depend on aniMeals every month to feed their pets, but for the first time in the history of the aniMeals program, there is a shortage of donations. We are at risk of not having enough food for the pet companions of our homebound seniors in the MOW program. We would like to thank the Rescue Bank and Carter's Pet Depot, who joined together to donate 1,000 lbs. of pet food to help lessen our shortage. Donations of dog and cat food, and/or gift cards to local pet stores, would help us to continue to deliver this greatly appreciated service. For more information, please call or e-mail Stephanie Kimball at 713.533.4948, or drop donations off at the front desk. Read more about aniMeals... Summer Volunteers Ne Many volunteers take vacations during the summer months which gives you an opportunity to try out our programs and determine if you would like to become a more regular volunteer. Volunteers are needed to deliver groceries and/or pet food to seniors in our community. Please contact our Volunteer Services department for more details.
"The season of giving may be over, but the need t Commissioner Todd Staples of the Texas Department of Agriculture and Judge Emmett of Harris County Commissioners Court awarded nearly $1.5 million to Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston. The new funding will add approximately 600 homebound seniors to the daily meal delivery program and an additional 100 of the most at risk will receive additional breakfast and weekend meals. more
Senior
Citizens are more than a priority of the community - they are the
community. Seniors represent 7.4% of the greater Houston population.
Houston seniors who receive meals from Meals on Wheels for Greater
Houston, without intervention, may one day become men and women who
have worked hard their entire lives, now retired on a fixed income
and spending their last years battling hunger. With the senior population
as one of the fastest growing in Texas, at a rate of 184% over the
next 33 years, the issue of senior hunger will only grow worse without
help. Read more…
