Spread Joy this Holiday Season: Deliver More Than a Meal with Meals on Wheels
If you and your friends or family would like a fun way to give back to your community this holiday season, then you can make a difference by Delivering More Than A Meal.
Meals on Wheels West volunteers are a compassionate group of dedicated men and women who freely devote their time and energy to serving people who need help. We serve your homebound neighbors in Venice, Marina del Rey, Del Rey and Santa Monica. There is Hidden Hunger even in the most affluent communities. Whoever they are, wherever they live, they can’t shop and cook meals for themselves. They need help to stay in their homes, live independently and to feel like they belong. Often our volunteers are the only person they see all day. They look forward to our volunteers delivering meals and asking, “How are you today?”

- Meals are delivered Monday through Friday every day of the year including holidays.
- Pick up from Oakwood Community Center or the Santa Monica location depending on what is more convenient for you and Deliver More Than a Meal to 10 Venice or MDR neighbors from.
