Meals on Wheels
What We Do
Catholic Charities has been providing “Meals on Wheels” to older adults in southern Nevada since 1975.
Catholic Charities delivers meals directly to homebound seniors in Las Vegas and North Las Vegas at no cost to the recipient.
The Meals on Wheels Program delivers a set of seven nutritionally balanced, frozen meals each and every week throughout the year.
The meals are delivered by Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada delivery drivers.
In addition to delivering meals, our drivers also make weekly check-ins at our recipient’s home. For those who have pet companions we deliver donated pet food, when the need is expressed and available. For some clients, this is the only real outside contact they may have with someone. This service is a lifeline to homebound seniors and we are thankful to all who make this important service possible.
Did You Know:
Nationally, one in six seniors struggles with hunger. Not only does it create an unparalleled anxiety, it also affects every aspect of senior health. The problem is significant, and it is growing. As the baby boom generation continues to cross the 60-year age line, the amount of seniors and accordingly those who struggle with hunger is exponentially increasing.
Benefits from Meals On Wheels:
Helps seniors to eat healthier
Improves their overall health
Homebound seniors feel more secure
Allows seniors to live in their own homes independently
Receive weekly wellness checks by phone
It costs less to provide a senior this service for an entire year than it costs to spend one day in the hospital or one week in a nursing home. Meals On Wheels is funded through grants for approximately 60% of the total meal cost. The remaining cost has to be raised and paid by the Catholic Charities.

United 4 Equity
Through our United for Equity Initiative, we have brought together over 200 of Southern Nevada’s nonprofits to educate and celebrate diverse cultures, traditions, and histories. In our United for Equity panel series, we have united local leaders from historically marginalized communities to discuss the challenges they have faced and to celebrate the contributions made by our diverse Southern Nevada community.
