Partnership

Providing More Than a Meal Since 1977

At Meals on Wheels of Charlottesville/Albemarle, we extend a compassionate hand to our community's most vulnerable individuals. With over 300 committed volunteers, we serve approximately 280 clients in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, providing hot, nutritious meals and essential wellness checks to those who struggle with food accessibility or preparation.

Each meal is tailored to meet our recipients' dietary needs under a registered dietitian's guidance, promoting health and independence while fostering connection and belonging.
