Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches, Inc. (MOWPB) was incorporated in 2010 by our founder, Charles B. Ring, III. Charlie saw the unmet needs of the homebound in our community and began MOWPB as part of the solution to address those needs.
Deliveries began in 2011, and in that first year we delivered approximately 4,000 meals with the help of 15 volunteers. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have safely delivered more than 80,000 meals to homebound seniors throughout Palm Beach County.
MISSION STATEMENT: Nourish and enrich the lives of homebound seniors by delivering fresh food daily with compassion and love
VISION STATEMENT: A nourished and loved independent senior community
VALUE PROPOSITION: Provide nutrition and peace of mind to homebound seniors, with daily chef prepared meals delivered by compassionate dedicated volunteers
WHAT WE DO: Our meals are freshly prepared daily in our kitchen by our Chef.
The meals are packed and delivered five days week by our team of dedicated volunteers. Our three-part program ensures that, in addition to a warm smile, our clients receive a nutritious meal, a wellness check, and follow up with emergency contacts as needed. This provides an essential human connection which is often lost when seniors or disabled adults live alone.
