About the Event

Join Meals on Wheels Collin County for our Holiday Meal Delivery Day, a special community-wide initiative dedicated to ensuring seniors have access to nutritious meals during the upcoming holiday season.

We're calling on volunteers, staff, and community partners to come together and help deliver emergency meal boxes to seniors throughout Collin County.

​

These shelf-stable meals provide essential nourishment during holiday closures, severe weather, and unexpected disruptions to regular meal deliveries, helping ensure our seniors have food when they need it most.

​

As the holiday season approaches, we recognize that many seniors face increased challenges, including food insecurity and social isolation. Through this initiative, we're working to provide not only nutritious meals but also comfort, connection, and peace of mind.

​

Together, we're preparing our seniors for the holidays, strengthening our community, and delivering more than a meal — we're delivering hope!
 

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers will pick up pre-packed meals from the distribution point and deliver them to homebound seniors along a randomly assigned delivery route. During each stop, volunteers will offer a warm greeting, provide a brief wellness check, and report any concerns or urgent needs to Meals on Wheels staff.

​
