Weekend Meals on Wheels

Our Story

In 1990, a group of dedicated volunteers recognized a critical need in New Hanover County: homebound seniors were going hungry on weekends and holidays when the local meal programs were not operating. This realization led to the creation of Weekend Meals on Wheels, one of the first programs of its kind in North Carolina. Initially, volunteers prepared and delivered sandwiches, but the program has since evolved significantly. Over the years, Weekend Meals on Wheels has delivered more than 200,000 meals, ensuring that seniors receive the nourishment they need.

Our Impact

Since its inception, Weekend Meals on Wheels Council Inc. has been committed to providing nutritious meals to homebound seniors in New Hanover County during weekends and holidays. In times of emergency, such as natural disasters, the program also steps in to provide essential meals during weekdays.
