Sometimes we get so busy taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves.

In the past five years, our meal delivery has increased by 79% and our recipient roster has increased by 55%. We now deliver an average of 350 meals each day, Monday through Friday, with 455 additional meals delivered on Fridays for the weekend. Our 295 volunteers give over 29,000 hours of their time annually.

As a team, we always put our recipients first. Making sure that our recipients receive daily nutrition keeps them healthy, and it allows them to continue living independently in their own homes. Hearing about how grateful each recipient is warms our hearts, and responding to each request for assistance keeps us extremely busy.

We need more people to hear our story, and we want to ensure that it is easy for people to access our services. We want to create ways for people to engage with us 24/7, so that no matter what time of day they are inspired to learn more, volunteer or give, they can connect with East Cooper Meals on Wheels.

With the help of Halfstache Graphic & Web Design , we’ve accomplished that by giving our website some much needed TLC. We hope you’ll visit often to see us “In the News,” to learn about upcoming events and to engage with us here on the blog.

We may be a small nonprofit, but we’re impacting the East Cooper community in a big way. We will deliver over 136,000 meals this year, and we do this because “We are Meals on Wheels, so no senior goes hungry™.” Tell us how you’re giving others a little TLC as part of the Meals on Wheels family!
