Who We Are

Our mission is to empower seniors and veterans to remain independent by nourishing their bodies, minds, and spirits. Each year, MOWSDC delivers over 650,000 nutritious meals with friendly visits to older San Diegans, helping them stay in their homes, where they want to be. As members in good standing with Meals on Wheels America (MOWA) and Meals on Wheels California (MOWCA), our organization advocates for issues that impact the health, wellness, and independence of San Diegans who are 60 or older, their pets, veterans with disabilities of any age, and their caregivers.
