About Us
A Holistic Approach to Care
Working Together for a Stronger Community
At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: everyone deserves nourishment, connection, and care — no matter their age or circumstance. That’s why Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula (MOWMP) and the Meals on Wheels Community Center (MOWCC) work hand in hand to serve the diverse needs of older adults and vulnerable individuals throughout our region.
Together, we provide a continuum of support that empowers people to live healthy, independent, and socially connected lives.
Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula
MOWMP is a nonprofit organization that delivers daily meals, wellness checks, and a lifeline of support to homebound seniors, disabled adults, veterans, and other underserved neighbors throughout the Monterey Peninsula.
Our Core Services Include:
-
Home-Delivered Meals for clients who cannot shop or cook for themselves
-
Friendly visits and safety checks with every delivery
-
Nutritional support and care coordination
-
Emergency meal kits and holiday meal deliveries
With compassion and consistency, our drivers deliver more than a meal — they deliver dignity, hope, and human connection.
Meals on Wheels Community Center
The MOW Community Center is an extension of our mission, offering an inviting, inclusive space where individuals can gather, stay active, and engage with others. Located in Pacific Grove, the center is open to the public and offers a wide range of programs that encourage healthy aging and lifelong learning.
At the Community Center, We Offer:
-
Group Dining & Food Distribution
-
Fitness, dance, and enrichment classes
-
Social events, workshops, and celebrations
-
Volunteer opportunities and community partnerships
-
Room rentals for meetings, parties, and events
Whether someone is homebound or highly active, we provide the support they need to thrive at every stage of aging.
Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula and the Meals on Wheels Community Center are two parts of one mission: to nourish bodies, minds, and spirits.
-
For those who cannot leave their homes, we bring care to the doorstep.
-
For those who can join us in person, we offer a warm, engaging place to gather and grow.
By addressing both isolation and nutrition, we ensure our community members are not only fed — but also seen, heard, and valued.
