Chief Operating Officer
"My memories of being a young boy are filled with time spent with my grandparents. Together, we visited my ageing relatives, delivered meals to them, and helped with their household chores. It was a moment my relatives cherished. Joining Meals on Wheels Central Texas provides a sweet opportunity for me to revisit these childhood memories and to continue supporting older adults.
It's more than just a meal.
It is a knock. It is a smile.
It is a warm embrace.
It’s Meals on Wheels!"

“The mission of Meals on Wheels has spoken to me since I was a young child,
delivering meals with my mother on her weekly route during summer vacations.
The work that Meals on Wheels does to help support individuals who are homebound
to live safely, comfortably, and happily at home is profoundly impactful and I am
deeply honored to have the opportunity to help serve our neighbors.”
