This nonprofit is featured in the WALTER Guide to Giving 2026, a curated guide to Raleigh and Wake County organizations that depend on holiday-season support.
Meals on Wheels of Wake County nourishes, enriches, and strengthens the lives of older adults through daily meal deliveries and human connection. Each day, Meals on Wheels delivers close to 1,500 meals to homebound seniors throughout Wake County. They rely on the support of more than 100 volunteers who show up every day to drive routes, delivering life-sustaining nourishment, care, and connection — to ensure every senior can age with dignity.
But Meals on Wheels of Wake County needs your help! Seniors are the fastest-growing population in the county, yet only 1% of philanthropic dollars go to support aging. Be there for our neighbors who helped build this thriving Raleigh community — ensuring they can stay in their own homes, age with dignity and community, and have nourishment for their body and soul.
How to help: volunteers can help pack bags or take a route to make deliveries. You can also donate: just $10 supports a senior’s meal for a day, $180 provides them meals for a month, or $2,160 provides meals for a senior for an entire year.
