Meals on Wheels of Greeley and Weld County

Why Your Gift Matters Now

For too many older adults in our community, the holidays aren't joyful — they're silent.

Silent nights. Silent days. Silent months spent alone and hungry.

At Meals on Wheels of Greeley and Weld County, we serve more than a meal. We deliver dignity, compassion, and connection. We are a lifeline for more than 500 aging adults and people with disabilities in our region, providing access to hot, nutritious meals and compassionate human connection delivered right to their doorsteps.

In 2024 alone, we delivered nearly 57,000 meals to our neighbors across Greeley, Evans, Windsor, Eaton, Fort Lupton, Firestone, and more. But the need is growing faster than ever.

Here's why:

• Older adults are the fastest-growing population in Weld County.
• Government funding has not kept pace with rising demand and costs.
• Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid are threatening food security for aging adults.
• Just 1% of philanthropic dollars in the U.S. go toward issues affecting older adults.

This winter, too many of our neighbors are at risk of hunger, isolation, and declining health---simply because they're aging in place without the resources they need.

You can change that.

Your Impact is Bigger Than a Meal
