Program Description How to Donate Volunteer Mobile Meals Stories Contact Us Home

			Adopt-A-Senior Mom used to give you chicken soup when you were sick.  Your neighbors watched out for all the kids on the block.  Do they need your help now?  They were there when you needed them.  We’re there when you can’t be. In Mobile Meals’ Adopt A Senior program, you can provide hot, nutritious lunches for a frail, homebound senior citizen in your community for one month, one year, or more.  Just $65 provides Mobile Meals (Monday through Friday) for one senior citizen in Knoxville or Knox County for an entire month.  When you give $780, you provide Mobile Meals for a year!  One hundred percent of every dollar you give goes directly to providing meals for Knox County seniors.  And providing those nutritious meals for an elderly person is a perfect project for your business, church, civic group, or family. Mobile Meals delivers to people age 60 and older who are too frail or sick to prepare their own meals and who have no other way to get even one hot, well-balanced meal a day.  The program currently serves an average of 770 people a day.  The need for meals is great and continues to grow because of the exploding growth of the elderly population here in East Tennessee. Government funds, grants from foundations, and even United Way cannot keep up with the demand.  This ever-increasing need can only be met through your generosity. You can Adopt A Senior for just $65 a month.  Adopt A Senior sponsors are listed each month in the Office on Aging newsletter, Elder News & Views, which goes to 16,000 households each month.  Those who Adopt A Senior for a year or more receive recognition in a special category.  Smaller contributions are welcomed and appreciated, and will also be recognized in Elder News & Views. Mobile Meals is a program of the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee Office on Aging.  Your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by the IRS.
