OUR HISTORY

Meals on Wheels originated during World War II and the concept rapidly spread where it gained traction in the United States in 1950s. In 1972, the Older Americans act was amended to include a national nutrition program for seniors. By 1974, meals were provided locally to homebound seniors in Utah, Wasatch & Summit counties. Over the decades, Meals on Wheels Summit, Utah & Wasatch has become a vital lifeline for those in need, relying on volunteers and partnerships with local communities. Its enduring commitment to nourishment and care has transformed it into an emblem of compassion, addressing nutritional and companionship needs.

DELIVERING MEALS & SMILES

Summit, Utah & Wasatch counties lie in the majestic Wasatch mountain range which is a backdrop for a growing and vibrant community. The people who call this region home have an exceptional blend of warmth, resilience, and community spirit. It is no surprise that the population, especially the senior population, continues to grow. We hope that our senior neighbors can continue to live with the dignity and support they need as they age.

FOOD IS MEDICINE. THERE SHOULDN'T BE A WAITING LIST

With over 300 qualified, homebound seniors waiting for our vital services, we are in desperate need of new sponsors, partners, and individual donations to help us meet our mission of improving health and quality of life for ALL of our homebound seniors. Food is medicine - so is companionship. Together we can ensure that those in need receive both. Waiting lists for this program should not exist. To help us END THE WAIT, please contact us today. All donations stay local to our Utah service area.
