For nearly 60 years, Meals on Wheels Diablo Region has been delivering more than a meal to older adults throughout Contra Costa County. As the only county-approved provider of nutritious meals and supportive services for seniors, we help our older neighbors age safely in place with dignity and independence.
With the dedication of our incredible network of staff and volunteers, we deliver over 2,500 meals each week alongside services including Fall Prevention, Friendly Helpers, Callers and Visitors, Health and Wellness programing, and community Cafés.
