Meals That Connect

About

Our Mission

We will enhance health, restore dignity, support independence, and reduce isolation for every San Luis Obispo County resident in need who is at least 60 years of age by providing meaningful connections and free, hot, noon-time meals delivered to community dining sites or at home.

Impact

14% of seniors in the SLO county do not get enough food.

Seniors are often forced to sacrifice food in order to pay for medical care, or cut out meals so their animal companions can eat.

Meals That Connect fulfills the essential need of nutrition for more than 1,800 seniors every day. For many seniors, these meals mean that they can remain in their own homes longer, and still have the assurance that they will experience community or be checked in on by a volunteer every day.

We have resources for the health and well-being or our seniors.

"It's an honor to take care of someone who took care of you."
