Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa was founded in 1990, as a countywide coalition of public and private agencies, citizen advisory groups and private sector representatives dedicated to providing Meals on Wheels services to homebound seniors. The only agency in Contra Costa County providing meals for homebound elders, Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa will subsidize over 150,000 meals to almost 550 homebound clients this year. By raising funds from generous individuals, groups and foundations, Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa bridges the widening gap between decreased government funding levels for Meals on Wheels services and the growing population of homebound seniors.
