Causes: Congregate Meals, Food, Meals on Wheels, Nutrition
Mission: MMOW was founded as "neighbors helping neighbors" in rural communities. Although the area has been engulfed by suburban growth, MMOW continues to provide for seniors in under-served communities in northeast Tarrant and south Denton counties of North Central Texas. Home-delivered meals support frail or elderly individuals who are unable to cook or shop for themselves, but who strive to remain independent and in their own homes. The meals provide daily nutrition as well as the opportunity for social interaction with the volunteers. Senior center luncheons provide socialization and support groups that are essential for seniors and a strong support system for active seniors who live independently. For seniors who have followed their adult children to new communities, the luncheons provide the opportunity to develop friendships that replace the network of friends left behind. The luncheons also provide the opportunity for seniors who live with their adult children to participate autonomously in activities of their choosing. Metroport Meals On Wheels provides services to individuals in need regardless of age or financial circumstances. There are no waiting lists and no red tape. MMOW's programs nourish active seniors, the elderly, chronically ill and disabled with food for the body, and more importantly, care and compassion for the soul.
Target demographics: seniors and other individuals who can not cook or shop for themselves
Direct beneficiaries per year: over 1,400 seniors with lunch time meals, visits and activities.
Geographic areas served: NE Tarrant, southern Denton and Wise counties
Programs: home-delivered meals, nutritional supplements, pantry staples and fresh produce to home delivery participants. Our volunteers provide a friendly smile and daily contact ensuring peace of mind to both participant and family. We also provide lunches and activities for 9 area senior centers. Our goal is to help seniors and the infirm remain at home and independent as long as possible.
