Meals on Wheels of Ocean County

Meals on Wheels of Ocean County A Non-profit that mobilizes resources to help older adults achieve food security, maintain independence, & build community. We are More Than Meals.

MOWOC envisions an Ocean County where all seniors live fully nourished lives, both mentally & physically. The Importance of Home - We like to think of our seniors’ homes as Memory Galleries, filled with reminders of the people and places that give their life meaning. A family picture on the mantle, a scrapbook of vacation photos, a simple painting on the wall…these are the things that give their l

ives context and emotional significance. No hospital, assisted living or nursing home facility can replace that. Emotional Health - We see it all the time: just knowing that somebody will be knocking on their door with food gives our seniors a reason to get out of bed. Oftentimes, our drivers are the only people they see all day. For a homebound senior, Meals on Wheels and our other services are about far more than simple nourishment. They’re about emotional and spiritual health. Meals on Wheels and So Much More - Because seniors need more than just meals to live a healthy, meaningful life, we also offer a diverse range of support services that provide information, access, referrals, counseling, transportation, physical activity, companionship and more.

Our Meals on Wheels truck made a special stop at Waretown Elementary School's Careers on Wheels Day! 💛

Students had the opportunity to explore a variety of vehicles that serve our community, including emergency response, construction, and service vehicles. We were proud to share how Meals on Wheels Ocean County helps our older adults remain nourished, connected, and independent every day in the homes they love.

Thank you to Waretown Elementary School for inviting us to be part of such a fun and educational event.

June is National Safety Month, and at Meals on Wheels Ocean County, safety is part of what we deliver every single day 💛

Beyond nutritious meals, our team helps older adults remain safe, supported, and independent in the homes they love. From daily wellness checks and noticing when something may be wrong, the work we do goes beyond delivering a meal.

For many seniors, a knock at the door from a MOWOC driver is a peace of mind that someone is looking out for them.

We are proud to help keep Ocean County seniors nourished, cared for, and safe at home each day. We are
