Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels serves all eligible senior citizens age 60 and over living in Fort Bend and Waller Counties. Our primary focus is our Meals on Wheels program for home-bound seniors. We provide daily and weekly hot meal deliveries throughout Fort Bend and Waller Counties through a network of staff and volunteer drivers. For all active seniors, we provide hot meals and daily recreation activities at 8 congregate center locations throughout both counties

Home-delivered meals, through September 1, currently include 1 hot meal daily, Monday – Wednesday, 1 hot meal plus 3 frozen meals on Thursday for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Clients also receive an emergency kit that includes 5 shelf stable meals for times of natural disaster. Meals meet at least 1/3 of the recommended daily allowance of all nutrients required by adults  for five or more days per week to seniors who are homebound.

Participants for the home-delivered meal program must be unable to physically attend a senior center and also be unable to safety prepare their own meals.

Our senior congregate centers are open Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 12:30 pm and provide activities, including bingo, art and fitness classes, as well as a hot meal. Most importantly, they provide much needed socialization with other seniors.

All of our services and programs are offered free of charge based on need, regardless of income.
