Mission

Since 1973, Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County (MOWI) has provided hot, nourishing meals to elderly and disabled persons who are unable to prepare meals for themselves, or with limited access to food. The meals, daily contact by caring volunteers and professional case management allow frail, homebound persons to remain in their own homes, where they want to be. On staff registered, licensed dietitians also provide nutrition counseling including goal setting to improve overall health. Today, a volunteer force of 4,400 delivers to 6,996 people who truly need our help in neighborhoods throughout Tarrant County. Volunteers also deliver blankets, fans, supplemental groceries, medical equipment, microwave ovens, and other items essential to help a client maintain their independence. In addition, MOWI provides professional case management to thousands of frail and isolated persons each year. Meals On Wheels also manages the congregate meal program in 21 adult activity centers where mobile adults gather each Monday - Friday for socialization and a well-balanced meal. In addition to meals, the agency operates an evidence-based medication review and intervention program to help reduce the incidence of duplicate medication, adverse drug interactions, and falls. The program is managed by 2 registered pharmacy techs and a consultant pharmacist.
