Meals on Wheels – Dallas County

Meals on Wheels is a service provided by VNA, a nonprofit organization that helps our elderly neighbors and loved ones maintain their independence by providing the services that allow them to age where they are happiest and most comfortable – at home. 

VNA Meals on Wheels provides hot, nutritious, freshly prepared meals five days a week to Dallas County residents who can’t provide for themselves due to illness, advanced age or disability. These meals contribute to the overall health and well-being of participating seniors, including those with chronic illnesses that are affected by diet, such as diabetes and heart disease, and frail seniors who are homebound. Without VNA Meals on Wheels these seniors would go hungry.

They serve all of Tarrant County, providing approximately 1 million meals each year to some of Tarrant County’s frailest citizens.
