Where the money goes
Meals on Wheels nourish communities both nutritionally and socially across the entire State of NSW. We believe that a nutritious comforting meal is a right, not a privilege.
Yet, every day, many of our elderly neighbors face the heartbreaking choice between buying food or paying for basic living expenses. Your donation could mean the difference between an empty fridge and a comforting meal delivered with a friendly smile.
When you give today, you are providing a vital lifeline. 100% of donations via our website go towards our Financially Disadvantaged Fund. This fund steps in during times of crisis, supporting Meals on Wheels clients in NSW who cannot afford meals for up to 12 weeks.
Donation FAQs
100% of donations via our website go towards our Financially Disadvantaged Fund supporting Meals on Wheels clients in NSW who are unable to afford the costs associated with their meals due to financial hardship for up to 12 weeks. This way, you can guarantee that your donation directly benefits Meals on Wheels clients who need help affording their meals.
Increased cost of living has impacted the lives of many members of our community, especially our seniors. A recent survey by National Seniors Australia found that cost-of-living was seniors' largest issue. For those on pensions or renting, groceries were the greatest concern, while rural seniors are most troubled by fuel costs. Meals on Wheels provides a direct solution to these seniors’ biggest concerns, ensuring they have nutritious meals, companionship, and a friendly check in at the door.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and an automatic tax receipt will be sent to you after you complete your donation.
100% of donations received via the website support financially disadvantaged Meals on Wheels clients across the State.
