As we embrace the arrival of the Summer Solstice, what better day to start celebrating #RESPECTYOURELDERS?

Join us in celebrating and spreading the message of respect and admiration for our elders on this special day and beyond.

AGING CAN BE SO LONELY.

Millions of seniors are home-bound. Nearly a third of those who live alone spend almost all of their time by themselves. For many, the Meals on Wheels volunteer is the only human contact they have all day.

We need your help to rally a nation

That’s why Meals on Wheels America launched the #RespectYourElders campaign! The aim is to garner support for America’s aging population. Everyday people and celebrities alike will honor the seniors in their life and post on social media using #RespectYourElders.

Every Action Helps

Your support for Meals on Wheels today nourishes a lonely senior’s body and soul tomorrow. Post on social media. Do a random act of kindness. Record a video. Every action will help!
