With hunger on the rise, demand for meals is putting an enormous strain on our resources.
At MOWA, we know food isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our chefs and dietician prepare meals for a variety of dietary restrictions, including:
Heart healthy
Carb-controlled
Modified
Small and bite-sized
Vegetarian
Kidney friendly
Ensure only
Our team, with the help of our essential volunteers, hits the streets every week to deliver nutritious meals.
Check out our volunteers page to get involved!
Any amount helps – just $10 feeds a senior for a day. $4,000 feeds a senior for an entire year!
MOWA’s pantry program serves as a critical stop-gap for emergency situations.
Pantry supplies also provide for seniors who want to continue cooking and preparing foods in the home. Pantry deliveries contain a month-long supply of dry goods.
Despite spending her entire life working, Margaret, an 85-year-old homebound senior, faced a dire need for food. Fortunately, thanks to our emergency food pantry, MOWA was able to answer her call with a 30-day supply of food.

Because of their income restrictions, our seniors often struggle to provide their furry friends with the care they need – but sometimes, their pets are the only family they have.
MOWA sprung into action, partnering with the Atlanta Humane Society to supplement our seniors’ meals with pet food upon request.
Unopened bags or cans of dog or cat food (preferably dry and in bags of 20 lbs or less)
Unopened dog or cat treats
New and unused dog or cat toys
New containers of kitty litter
New containers to store dog or cat toys
MOWA’s group meals offerings generate revenue that we invest back into our meals services programs to feed more seniors.
We provide high-quality health, nutrition, and support services and subject matter expertise dedicated to the improvement of the overall quality of life of local seniors and other groups in need.
All meal offerings are designed by MOWA’s executive chef and registered dietitian to be balanced and portion-controlled.

Join MOWA for one-hour nutrition education sessions with our Executive Chef, Robert Gerstenecker.
Each session can be customized to meet the needs of your team, includes engaging Q&A with our experts, and provides a take-home recipe card.
Like our family style and congregate meals program, cooking demos generate funding that supports our core mission of feeding local seniors.
