HOW TO HELP

Meals On Wheels Update

Community Support Keeps Seven Meals a Week for Local Seniors

Because of strong community support, Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels will postpone a planned reduction in meal service. In late October, the organization shared that due to a loss of federal funding, a change from seven meals per week to five meals per week was scheduled to begin for homebound clients on January 1, 2026. 

Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels is pleased to confirm that homebound seniors will continue receiving seven meals per week beyond January 1. The transition to five meals per week has been postponed for six months.

Power of a Knock

A knock at the door might not seem like a big deal to many of us. But, to a homebound senior, it could signal the arrival of the only person they might see all day or all week long. For more than 50 years, Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels has been the most effective solution to addressing senior hunger and isolation in our community. Together, we can deliver lasting change and work to ensure every senior in Fort Bend and Waller Counties who needs Meals on Wheels gets it.

NUTRITION

More Than a Meal

Malnutrition is dangerous. Proper nutrition isn’t just food, it’s the difference between thriving and barely surviving. Good nutrition is essential for staying healthy and independent as we get older. The right balance of nutrients helps older adults maintain strength, energy and overall well-being. Proper nutrition also lowers the risk of health problems, improves mobility and supports mental health. As we grow older, our nutritional needs change. Seniors often need fewer calories but more nutrients like protein, fiber and vitamins.

They worked hard, raised families, built businesses, taught our kids. Now, in their final years, they are quietly struggling. Without Food. Without Help. Without anyone noticing.

But we notice. Any you can too.
