On Friday, June 26th, as many as 10,000 yellow rubber ducks will be knocked out of the park at Meals on Wheels’ annual Ducks on Deck 2026. Within just a few minutes, there will be one lucky rubber duck winner. There will be prizes ranging from gift cards all the way to our grand prize winner of $2,000!

Meals on Wheels provides daily meals for older adults in our community who are medically frail and homebound. Many of those we serve would not have a hot meal or connection to the community without Meals on Wheels - not only because of financial hardships but because they are mentally or physically unable to prepare a meal for themselves. To deliver over 100,000 hot meals each year to those in need, we depend on the kindness of hundreds of volunteers and the generosity of our community.

We are excited to announce a new chapter for our event! Ducks on Deck 2026 will take place at the Burlington Sock Puppets baseball stadium during a Sock Puppets game. Our famous rubber duck race will take place in the pond at the ballpark, creating a fun new atmosphere that combines baseball, community, and our duck race tradition!

Our goal each year is that every duck purchased goes directly to providing hot, nutritious meals for seniors in our community. Ducks will be sold prior to the game and the winning ducks will be drawn by the end of game. We hope you will consider supporting our duck race and join us for a night of baseball, snacks, games, and fun, all while raising funds for seniors in our community!
