How Your Support Helps
Last year, within Denton County, over 84,000 meals were served to the elderly in our community. Often, this is the only meal that our clients receive each day and sadly, it is often the only contact they have with another person.
Last year, within Denton County, over 65,000 trips were provided to seniors, veterans and persons with disabilities to allow them to remain as independent as possible, and in their home, where they want to be.
80% of our clients live well below the poverty line and on less than $600 per month. Our clients truly do not have the means to buy the necessities in life.
Also, did you know that MOWDC currently has a waiting list for seniors to become apart of the Meals on Wheels program.
Your support is more critical than ever. No senior should have to be hungry, miss critical doctors appointments, or live in isolation. With your support we can ensure that those in need within our community are cared for. Your support allows seniors to live as independently as possible.
Did you know that the cost of 1 year of meals is less than a 2 day hospital stay due to problems that are created due to malnutrition.
- 1 week of meals = $25
- 1 Month of Meals = $100
- 6 months of Meals = $750
- 1 year of meals = $1300
Your support makes a daily difference in the lives of the frail elderly. Your support allows MOWDC/SPAN to provide the services that are critical to the aging population within Denton County.
