Your gift helps homebound older adults living on the Westside of Los Angeles get nutritious meals, wellness checks, and caring connections to help them stay independent at home.
Every weekday, Meals on Wheels Culver Palms delivers more than a meal. Volunteers deliver nutritious meals, companionship, and wellness checks for seniors who might otherwise face hunger or isolation.
Many clients live alone with limited resources. Some contribute to meals, but others cannot pay. Meals on Wheels Culver Palms receives no direct federal funding, so community support ensures no senior is turned away.
Last year, we delivered nearly 30,000 meals to older adults across a service area stretching from Pico Boulevard to LAX and from La Cienega Boulevard to the coast.
Make your gift today to help a neighbor in need. Your support stays local and has an immediate impact on our community.
Each meal costs approximately $13.93, covering meal delivery, wellness checks, and the support services that help seniors remain safe and independent at home.
To maximize the impact of your donation, please consider giving by check or Zelle. These options reduce processing costs, allowing more of your gift to support nutritious meals, caring visits, and wellness checks for local seniors.
