Bloomington Meals on Wheels Bloomington Meals on Wheels provides medically tailored meals to homebound people who are unable to cook for themselves due to illness, injury or disability

Meals on Wheels has been guided by a single goal since the first known U.S. delivery by a small group of Philadelphia citizens in 1954 – to support our senior neighbors to extend their independence and health as they age. What started as a compassionate idea has grown into one of the largest and most effective social movements in America, currently helping nearly 2.5 million seniors annually in virtually every community in the country. Even the most independent among us, if fortunate to live long enough, may experience a decline in mobility or health that can strip away our independence and diminish the quality of our lives. Great advances in medicine have extended our average life expectancy to a record high of 78.7 years. Living longer means more years spent in the struggles that accompany old age. Add to that the increase in geographic mobility of our families and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone. While we all celebrate the increase in lifespan, maintaining health while aging comes with a price. Without support from programs like Meals on Wheels, millions of seniors are forced to prematurely trade their homes for nursing facilities. It costs less to provide a senior Meals on Wheels for an entire year than it costs to spend one day in the hospital or six days in a nursing home. Meals on Wheels saves us all billions of dollars in unnecessary Medicaid and Medicare expenses every year – tax dollars that can be spent in much better ways. Meals on Wheels provides the ability for virtually every community across the country to efficiently and compassionately care for their aging neighbors. At the heart of this community solution are more than two million volunteers who keep the wheels turning in urban, suburban and rural communities across America. Serving up friendship and nutrition in both group settings and through deliveries directly to seniors’ homes, Meals on Wheels is making communities stronger, safer and more self-sufficient. That is something we can all be proud of.

We’re glad to be serving our neighbors in Ellettsville.

Last year, Bloomington Meals on Wheels expanded beyond Bloomington to begin delivering meals in Ellettsville—helping more individuals access regular, home-delivered meals.

Each weekday, clients receive complete, ready-to-eat meals delivered to their door—one hot meal and one cold meal for later—making it easier to stay nourished, independent, and connected at home.

We have room to serve more neighbors in Ellettsville, and we’d love to reach anyone who could benefit.

A quick mid-month reminder: your spare change is already making a difference.

Bloomington Meals on Wheels is honored to be Bloomingfoods Co-op Market’s Positive Change partner this April—and there’s still time to be part of it.

Each time you shop and choose to round up at the register, those small contributions help provide meals, connection, and care to neighbors in our community who rely on us.

It’s a simple act, but together it adds up in a powerful way.

If you’re visiting Bloomingfoods this month, consider rounding up. Thank you for continuing to support our mission—and each other.
