Meals on Wheels Mission

The mission of Meals On Wheels of Asheville - Buncombe County is to provide hot, nutritious meals to the elderly homebound, thus allowing them to live in their own homes, among familiar surroundings and maintain their dignity while aging.

 “If it wasn’t for Meals on Wheels, all I’d eat would be peanut butter crackers.”  

Robert C. - 68 years old
