About the Service
Meals on Wheels
in Central Arkansas
Meals on Wheels serves 2.4 million seniors nationally. In central Arkansas, our program delivered nearly half a million meals to seniors in need last year alone. This crisis affects people from all walks of life, and many older adults in your neighborhood struggle with food insecurity.
Understanding Food Insecurity
Factors such as financial resources, mobility issues, and access to grocery stores impact food security for seniors. Many assume that only financially disadvantaged seniors struggle with food, but physical or mental challenges can prevent even financially stable seniors from preparing meals. Without a strong support system, some seniors may go without proper nutrition for extended periods without realizing it.
