How You Can Help
Supporting Meals on Wheels of Pasco goes far beyond traditional financial donations, ensuring that everyone in the community can contribute in a meaningful way to help nourish homebound seniors. While monetary gifts are always essential for funding our meal preparation and delivery operations, we welcome numerous other forms of generosity, including gifts that benefit us directly through donated goods and long-term planning. We encourage you to review all our multiple giving options and find the one that is right for you.
We’ve made supporting Pasco’s seniors easy and flexible, offering two powerful ways for you to make a difference.
A One-Time Gift: Your single contribution has immediate impact, helping us cover an urgent need like launching a new meal delivery route or expanding service to reach more seniors.
Become a Monthly Donor: This systematic approach is the foundation of our stability. Your recurring contribution is easy, budget-friendly, and gives us the reliable resources we need to plan for the future and maintain consistent meal delivery every single day.

Donating stocks or bonds is one of the most effective ways to support Meals on Wheels.
The financial advantage of this strategy is significant:
Avoid Capital Gains Tax: You are generally not required to pay the capital gains tax you would owe if you sold the assets yourself, maximizing the value of your personal contribution.
Maximum Support for Meals on Wheels: Because the assets are transferred directly, the full current market value goes to supporting our mission, ensuring more funding for meals and critical services than if you donated the after-tax cash proceeds.
We are thrilled to announce Meals On Wheels is in the process of offering a brand-new, simplified way for you to make a tangible difference in the lives of the seniors we serve:
Mindful Giving: Meals on Wheels has partnered with Amazon Business to make it easier than ever to donate the specific items our programs need most.
Mindful Giving transforms the process of donating physical goods (in-kind donations) into a quick and convenient online shopping experience. Instead of guessing what we need or dropping off items, you can now donate precisely what will help our seniors immediately.
Keep an eye out for the official release of the new donating option, Mindful Giving, coming soon to our website!
