Our program is currently the only one of its kind in the Albuquerque area.
We provide our services to any one of any age. There are no restrictions for age or disability. We help you or your loved one stay happy, healthy and independent.
Meal Service
Hot, frozen, breakfast, lunch or dinner – a home-delivered meal ensures clients receive needed nutrition with a friendly face and wellness check. Eight different diet types are prepared fresh daily in our own kitchens. No contracts to sign or qualifications to meet.
Volunteer
Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque has close to 400 volunteers who staff four different sites in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, participate in fundraising activities, work in the Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque kitchen and office, and/or deliver meals to the homebound to provide social interaction to meal recipients.
Give Back
Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque relies on the kindness of people like you to keep our wheels turning. Every gift, no matter how small, means another homebound person will receive nutritious meals.
