Hunger and Isolation Should Never Be a Part of Aging

For many seniors in Kenosha County, a warm meal and a caring visit are more than just a necessity—they are lifelines. But with rising food and operational costs, local Meals on Wheels programs are struggling to meet the growing demand.

Many of our elderly neighbors live alone, unable to shop or cook for themselves. Without Meals on Wheels, they might go hungry—or spend days without seeing another person. Your support can change that.

March for Meals: A Time to Give Back

This week, March 17-21, we’re joining the national March for Meals campaign to shine a light on senior hunger and isolation. But this need doesn’t end in March—it’s year-round.

By giving today, you ensure that our local seniors receive not only a nutritious meal but also a friendly face and a wellness check—reminders that they are not forgotten.

How You Can Help Right Now

  • $11.65 provides a meal and a caring visit for one senior.
  • $58.25 ensures a senior is fed for a week.
  • $233 keeps meals coming for a full month.

More Than a Meal—A Lifeline

For homebound seniors, Meals on Wheels isn’t just about food. It’s about dignity, connection, and security. It’s about knowing someone cares.

Will you help ensure no senior in Kenosha County goes hungry or feels alone?

Together, we can fight senior hunger and isolation this week and every week. Thank you for your generosity!
