Nourishing Independence Across Greater Lynchburg
“When I hear the knock on my door, I know it’s my Meals on Wheels volunteer delivering my meal, and that just makes me so happy. I know I can always rely on them to be there for me.”
Driven by compassionate volunteers and donors, we deliver hot, nutritious meals, friendly visits, and weekday check-ins.
We empower people to live independent lives at home by ensuring our neighbors are physically nourished.
Our services improve health outcomes, reduce the risk of health complications, and ultimately increase overall quality of life.
Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg receives no state or federal government funding. One hundred percent of our support comes from private donations, corporate partners, and grants—ensuring we can serve neighbors of all ages, incomes, and abilities.
While our mission relies entirely on volunteers to deliver meals and check-ins, our drivers often say they get just as much out of the experience. To them, delivering isn't a task—it’s a rewarding, heartwarming privilege that they look forward to every week.

VOLUNTEER INTEREST FORMVolunteers from across the community make a difference every weekday delivering meals on over 45 different routes.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life: some are seniors, others are business people who deliver on their lunch hour, many of our volunteers take their children or grandchildren along, and some volunteer as part of their church or civic organization’s service to community. Not only are they delivering a hot meal, but they are also providing an invaluable connection to the greater community for many of our neighbors in need. Interested in learning more?
