CAN’T GET OUT? We can  Help! 

We  provide "Meals On Wheels" to more than 280 Kerr County shut-ins every weekday. Friendly volunteers will deliver a meal right to your door if you’re temporarily or permanently unable to shop and prepare meals for yourself.

“Meals On Wheels” can be requested through email or call our Reservation Line: (830) 896-8117. You will receive a visit from our assessment volunteer who will ask you questions for the required paperwork and determine any other special ways we may be able to assist you.


Our volunteer drivers deliver more than 61,000 lunches annually to frail elders throughout Kerr County who can no longer shop or prepare a meal.  These are available by donation to folks age 60 or older who meet eligibility requirements.  We don’t put folks on a waiting list – we feed them.  No senior in Kerr County should go hungry!

Support   "Meals On Wheels" with a gift to Nutrition Services!
"Feed A Senior" Today!


Approximately 280 lunches are delivered every weekday as "Meals On Wheels" to home-bound, frail elderly.  Last year, more than 61,000 meals were the lifeline that helped keep these elders independent and out of nursing homes!

These meals are delivered by the most wonderful and dedicated volunteers who bring warm friendship and a hot lunch to area shut-ins.  Often, they're the only people our clients will see that day.

Meals are available by donation to those who qualify.  It costs $7.02 to produce one meal.  The average client donation is $1.08 cents per meal.

That's why a majority of our fundraising effort goes to Nutrition Services to cover the cost of providing these meals.  Government stipends pay for only 40% of this expense.  The rest must be raised from the community.  Our shortfall is projected to be $215,727 this year!

Won't you help feed a senior?  Our on-line form makes it secure and easy.

THANK YOU!
