Meals-on-Wheels is funded by local donations from individuals, civic groups, businesses, client and participant contributions, Johnson County United Way, Greater Ennis United Way, West Ellis County United Way, Johnson County Commissioners' Court, Ellis County Commissioners’ Court, Combined Federal Campaign, State Employees Charitable Campaign, private foundations, and shrinking federal and state grants. Fund raising efforts include the Annual Appeal, as well as the Fabulous 40's Fling.

You can support our special work in a variety of ways. An outright gift of cash, stock or personal property can be put to immediate use. Also, you can designate your gift as a Memorial Gift or an Honor Gift for someone special or a Celebration Gift for a special occasion. A Planned Gift for the future can allow you to make a larger gift than would otherwise be possible - perhaps with income or estate tax benefits or with variable or fixed income for your life or the life of someone you care about. Leaving a Legacy

Copies of our Donors' Bill of Rights Policy, Annual Fiscal Audit, and the 990 Tax Exempt Return are available upon request. The 990 Tax Exempt Return is also available at Guidestar.com.

We are excited to introduce our new “LUNCH BUNCH” -  monthly giving program. Both effective and convenient, monthly giving helps sustain Meals-on-Wheels’ daily meal deliveries.  By contributing $10, $20, $50, or $100 each month, you will insure that  our  many  homebound elderly and disabled neighbors receive a hot lunch and breakfast for the following day – all delivered with smiles by our  many caring volunteers.  Most of all, your gift brings hope, independence and dignity to those we serve.  Signing up is easy! You may choose the time of the month, and at any time you can stop, increase or decrease your gift by simply contacting us. Join today to be part of the “LUNCH BUNCH”…so that no senior goes hungry in our community.
The Albertson's Community Partners Challenge is a fun and easy new way to earn additional funds for a project within your Organization’s local community.

DIRECT GIVE: You can help feed your elderly and disabled homebound neighbors through Direct Give by having your gift deducted from your checking or savings account directly to Meals-on-Wheels. We can also set up a draft from your credit card if you choose. You decide the amount and the frequency. And best of all, your donation will be put to work immediately by saving time, paper and postage. A record of each gift will appear on your bank or credit card statement. Both options are secure and reliable and provide our program with your sustaining support.  Just like our volunteers are our “eyes and ears,” our monthly donors are our “backbone.”  They make providing meals to over 750 homebound individuals everyday possible. “With the introduction of Direct Give, we are providing our donors with one more convenient way to support Meals-on-Wheels,” said Faris. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Amy Jackson at 817-558-2840 or 972-351-9943 for more information or click here to donate today. Every gift, whatever the size, does make a difference!
