Support Seniors

A simple act of generosity can help older adults live with dignity, stay connected and thrive.

Help provide meals, safety, and connection.

In Jefferson County, food insecurity is a serious challenge for many seniors—one that can lead to the heartbreaking loss of independence.

By supporting United Way’s Meals on Wheels, you can make a direct impact on the lives of seniors who are homebound and unable to shop for groceries or prepare meals on their own.

Every weekday, nearly 1,000 meals are delivered to seniors across Jefferson County. Your gift helps us reach even more of our neighbors in need with this essential service.
