Meals on Wheels serves homebound seniors and disabled individuals throughout the 3,078 square miles of Anderson, Cherokee, and Rusk Counties in East Texas, providing more than 280,000 meals annually through home delivered and congregate programs. These meals reach our most vulnerable, food insecure seniors. The meals provide one-third of the recommended daily dietary requirements for seniors. For many clients, it is their only meal of the day.
