Lubbock Meals on Wheels works year-round to help people who remain at home, be well fed and independent. This year, Lubbock Meals on Wheels expects to prepare and deliver holiday meals to over 700 people in the Lubbock community. Deliveries are so much more than just a meal. For some people, a friendly volunteer is the only person they might see during the day.

In addition to a hot meal and a warm visit, Lubbock Meals on Wheels also delivers newspapers, pet food, fresh flowers on Fridays, a cake and card on birthdays, magazines and books, weekend meal sacks, emergency meals, and fresh fruit on holidays.

The Lubbock Dream Center furnishes weekend meal assistance for Meals on Wheels clients. Donations of single-serve items are accepted Monday – Wednesday 10:00am – 4:00pm.
