For far too many seniors, “Silent Night” is more than a song—it's reality.

Nearly 13 million seniors nationwide are threatened by or experience hunger, which is only intensified in the winter months.

It's time to #EndTheWait. Donate today: https://mealswhls.org/4qMZ9Dy
Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures are hitting many states. Please check on the older adults in your community—especially those who may be isolated. A quick call or knock can make a big difference 🩵

Hey Congress, don't forget to increase funding for Meals on Wheels. Lives depend on it!

It's a new year, but it's the same crisis: 13 million seniors worry about having enough to eat, and 56% of seniors report feeling lonely. We must #EndTheWait for seniors struggling with hunger and isolation. Resolve to make 2026 the year you get involved!

This MLK Day, we honor Dr. King not just with words, but with action. Volunteering with Meals on Wheels is a simple yet powerful way to answer that call—by delivering meals, checking in and ensuring seniors can age with dignity and independence.

56% of older adults report feeling lonely. Many live alone, unable to leave their homes, disconnected from the outside world. Meals on Wheels is the solution that brings human connection to those who need it.

At nearly 99 years old, Donald lives alone with mobility challenges that make daily chores like cooking meals impossible. After two months on a waitlist, Meals on Wheels became his lifeline — the nutritious meals that keep him healthy and the volunteers who brighten his days.

These 5 states utilize the now-frozen funding to serve more than 2.5 million people, including seniors, providing a range of services. Have you or someone you know been affected by this? Let us know in the comments how this freeze has impacted you or your Meals on Wheels program.

No senior should be forced to spend their holiday hungry and lonely. Period.
December 21, 2025 at 9:50 PM
For millions of seniors, a knock at the door from a Meals on Wheels volunteer means more than a meal—it's a reminder that someone cares.

But too many seniors are left waiting.
No senior should spend the holidays hungry and alone. Together, we can end silent nights for seniors.

Thank you @repgwenmoore.bsky.social for volunteering! We must protect and prioritize the programs that help seniors age with dignity.
With recent Republican attacks on programs like SNAP that keep food on the table, programs like Meals on Wheels are more important than ever.
 
I joined @davidccrowley.bsky.social to serve meals at one of Milwaukee's senior centers, to reaffirm our commitment to keeping our communities fed.

Meals on Wheels serves millions of seniors each year, but millions more are waiting for basic nutrition and human connection for the holidays. This message from Leanne Morgan shines a light on the waitlist crisis Meals on Wheels providers are facing today. https://mealswhls.org/3MB7mLa

Meals on Wheels providers are serving more seniors than ever — with no increase in funding. That’s where silent nights and hungry days meet, during a season when good company and meals should be abundant. Learn how you can help for the holidays: https://mealswhls.org/3Kkr1hT
