Since I cannot stand for very long, it is very hard to cook so I was not eating properly. I am so pleased to be getting a nutritious meal. Thank you so much!
Thanks to all the wonderful compassionate MOW volunteers who have so faithfully delivered meals through snowstorms, heatwaves and soaring gas prices. I'll always be grateful for the faithful service to my mother until she passed away.

The mission of Longmont Meals on Wheels (LMOW) is to serve our community by promoting client health and independence through good nutrition and social interaction. Longmont Meals on Wheels helps older people and people with disabilities with proper, affordable nutrition so that they can stay self-sufficient in their own homes for as long as possible.
Longmont Meals on Wheels has been serving older Boulder County residents since 1969. American culture saw significant changes in the period of prosperity after World War II. Life expectancy increased and society became mobile as people pursued opportunities elsewhere. The downside was that extended families no longer found themselves geographically close enough to support each other.
A local group recognized and addressed the fact that older people in their neighborhoods were living alone. Many of these elderly no longer drove; some had lost a spouse and most had no family nearby. Some of them found their health failing because it was so difficult to do something as basic as shop for food and cook. The founding group made meals and delivered them weekly to a dozen or so homebound older people.
In 1987 LMOW then moved its base of operations to the Longmont Senior Center where it has been serving the lunchtime meal ever since, establishing this vital partnership.
