Your gift helps homebound older adults living on the Westside of Los Angeles get nutritious meals, wellness checks, and caring connections to help them stay independent at home.
Every weekday, Meals on Wheels Culver Palms delivers more than a meal. Volunteers deliver nutritious meals, companionship, and wellness checks for seniors who might otherwise face hunger or isolation.
Many clients live alone with limited resources. Some contribute to meals, but others cannot pay. Meals on Wheels Culver Palms receives no direct federal funding, so community support ensures no senior is turned away.
Last year, we delivered nearly 30,000 meals to older adults across a service area stretching from Pico Boulevard to LAX and from La Cienega Boulevard to the coast.
Make your gift today to help a neighbor in need. Your support stays local and has an immediate impact on our community.
Each meal costs approximately $12.10, covering meal delivery, wellness checks, and the support services that help seniors remain safe and independent at home.
To maximize the impact of your donation, please consider giving by check or Zelle. These options reduce processing costs, allowing more of your gift to support nutritious meals, caring visits, and wellness checks for local seniors.

Many of the seniors we serve are over 75 and live on limited, fixed incomes. Rising housing costs, increasing living expenses, and social isolation can make everyday life challenging for older adults who are already vulnerable.
By becoming a monthly donor, you provide reliable support that helps ensure nutritious meals, wellness checks, and caring connections are available year-round. Recurring gifts allow us to plan, respond to changing needs, and provide consistent support to the seniors who depend on us.
A monthly gift is one of the most effective ways to help homebound older adults remain nourished, connected, and independent in their own homes.
