 Visit our Community Blog to read posts from our 24 bloggers.Our Community Bloggers consist of meal deliverers, high school and college interns, staff, office and event volunteers. Even our nutrition interns and many premier San Diego executive chefs will contribute to this blog. All of these individuals, and many more, share of themselves and allow us to carry out the day-to-day functions of our operation. They are our life-blood and we literally could not do what we do without them. |
Each day, the largest volunteer network in America delivers more than a million meals to seniors struggling with hunger. Along with those meals, our
volunteers deliver dignity and compassion . But with more than six million seniors in America who do not have access to regular meals, there’s work to be done. By being a part of the Meals On Wheels volunteer network, you can deliver the hope that together, we can end senior hunger. Get all the facts |

Top Truck Rematch in El Cajon Declares Slow Cal BBQ East County Champ
 The top gourmet food trucks went “at it again” in a friendly rematch at El Cajon Subaru on January 7th. In addition to Slow Cal BBQ’s top ranking by a panel that judged participants by taste, presentation and ease of eating, Meals-on-Wheels was presented a check for $3750 by Mike Vitale from El Cajon Subaru. Each year Subaru dealers donate $250 per new car sold during the holidays to Meals on Wheels Association of America*. This year, Subaru El Cajon “Doubled the Love” by making an additional donation to Meals-on-Wheels San Diego.
*Consumers select a charity of their choice to receive the $250 donation from 5 non-profit organizations.
